Partnership lends computational support to acclaimed research into polar climate change
As one of the esteemed scientists working with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), David Bromwich’s research — conducted, in part, at the Ohio Supercomputer Center — on the changes in polar atmospheric circulation and Antarctic climate variability contributed to winning this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
Computational science program to address industry, research needs
Starting this month, students at nine Ohio college and university campuses will begin adding valuable computational science skills to their academic portfolio with the launch of a new, virtual minor program being coordinated by the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science.
Building Better Aircraft Engines, Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Race Cars
By Joan Slattery Wall
Somnath Ghosh envisions a day when the lifespan of aircraft engines could be predicted with better certainty.
The variables involved, however, seem endless: How much load would the aircraft carry? What are the failure characteristics of each composite used in each part? How much impact could they withstand? What effect does natural degradation have over time?
Gigaconference Introduces New Lines of High-Definition Videoconference Products
Some of Charles Csuri’s newest high-definition artwork was showcased during Gigaconference II, held Dec. 5, 2006, in Chicago, Ill. Known as the “father of computer graphics,” Csuri is professor emeritus of The Ohio State University’s (OSU) Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD).
International conference features Ohio Supercomputer Center experts
Staff members at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) are being tapped for their valuable expertise to deliver numerous presentations at SC07, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nev., Nov. 10-16.
OSC experts will be making a series of presentations throughout the week from the center’s high-tech display booth on the exhibit floor. Among the 18 booth presentations, major topics will include:
OpenFPGA Consortium Incorporates, Names Board of Directors
The OpenFPGA Consortium has announced that it has become an incorporated non-profit organization.
ECom-Ohio Assessment Challenges Ohio to be a Leader in the E-commerce Revolution
ECom-Ohio today released its statewide and regional assessments of Ohio's readiness for electronic commerce. At the event, key leaders in government, education and industry unveiled action agendas designed to help Ohio lead in the coming e-commerce revolution. The action agendas require key industry, infrastructure and educational changes to be made at both the state and regional levels.
UC Center Studies Ways to Design Safer Guardrails
Just like trends in clothing, cars change their look and design rapidly with the times.
In recent years, the number of pickup trucks, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles seen on US highways has grown substantially. Recent crash testing by the Federal Highway Administration indicates that these types of cars may be more prone to overturn when crashing into guardrails on US highways.
OSC Demonstrates Shared Virtual Environments at Spring I2 Member Meeting
Why does a second Internet need to be created? Ask 10 researchers and policymakers across the nation and you may receive 10 different answers. One important answer lies in the health and well-being of Americans.
Many advances in medicine depend on advances in technology, including virtual reality, computer simulations, and a faster Internet. Researchers at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) in Columbus will demonstrate their recent work at the Spring Internet 2 (I2) Member meeting in Washington, DC, April 14-18.
