Path Finding: Behavior of Artificial Neural Network
Abstract
To travel from one location to another is a common task for most human beings. Actually creating a robot to find a path to the destination while avoiding obstacles is another task. The behavior of an artificial neural network is synthesized mimicking the decisions leading to a path. a two-layer network using a simplified model of a biological network (i.e. brain is used).
Garafolo tests spacecraft seal to verify computer models
Previous seal studies relied heavily on ‘intuition and costly experiments’
Columbus, Ohio (March 7, 2012) – An Akron researcher is designing computer prediction models to test potential new docking seals that will better preserve breathable cabin air for astronauts living aboard the International Space Station and other NASA spacecraft.
SuperViz '94 Showcases Excellent Science -- Ohio Research Featured in Supercomputing Video
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) announces that five science video animations produced at the center were among the 34 selected for the International Supercomputing '94 Conference showcase video, SuperViz '94, as excellent examples of scientific research.
Simulations key to research seeking faster computer chips
Using precise computer simulations, Ohio State University researchers were able to discover potential keys to mass producing a specific pattern of graphite in a layer just one atom thick, signaling a breakthrough that could lead to "graphene" challenging silicon as the preferred material for manufacturing faster, more efficient computer chips.
Science, engineering students developing HPC programming skills through Great Lakes Consortium Virtual School summer course
Graduate students – from various disciplines and institutions across the country – are improving their multi-core programming skills this week during a summer school course offered by the Great Lakes Consortium’s Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering.
Ohio researcher tracks movement of H1N1 influenza virus with the aid of supercomputer, mapping software
An Ohio State University Medical Center biomedical informatics researcher is tapping the power of the Ohio Supercomputer Center to monitor the spread of the H1N1 influenza virus.
OSC, partners receive portion of multi-million dollar Defense contract, to provide high performance computing solutions for DoD suppliers
In collaboration with the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute, who was awarded a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract, the Ohio Supercomputer Center will help demonstrate the benefits of high performance computing, defense-critical modeling and simulation solutions for the Department of Defense supply chain.
