Recent survey identifies gaps in educational resources needed to train America's future computational scientists
A recent survey of American researchers, software developers, educators and students reveals that a significant national effort is needed to fill gaps in education and training materials needed to prepare tomorrow’s computational scientists to take advantage of high performance supercomputers.
The Report on High Performance Computing Training and Education Survey provides a baseline assessment of the skills and concepts required by American computational scientists tackling challenging research problems with high performance computing (HPC) technology.
Soldiers' Chances of Surviving Mine Explosion Increase With Improved Seat Design, Research Shows
A soldier’s ability to survive a mine blast greatly improves if armored vehicles are equipped with energy-absorbing seats, according to recent studies by a University of Cincinnati scientist.
Working with the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Professor Ala Tabiei developed and evaluated a new seat design for personnel carriers and other non-tank vehicles that mitigates an explosion’s force inside the vehicle.
Blue Collar Computing Receives HPCwire 2006 Readers' Choice Award
The Blue Collar Computing program at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) today received the prestigious HPCwire 2006 Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Collaboration Between Government and Industry.” HPCwire is considered the leading source for global news and information covering the ecosystem of high productivity computing.
NSF funds research to simulate geoscience field trips
Visualizations will allow students with mobility impairments to explore caves
Columbus, Ohio (Aug. 17, 2011) – College students with mobility impairments who are studying for a career in the geosciences will soon be able to explore a computer-generated simulation of a large cave system to meet the degree requirements of field-based learning experiences.
Better turbine simulation software to yield better engines
Chen leverages Ohio Supercomputer Center resources to refine TURBO
Columbus, Ohio (Dec. 20, 2011) – For most of us, the word “turbomachinery” may conjure up images of superheroes or fast exotic cars, but in reality most people leverage turbomachinery to get things done nearly every day.
New journal promotes computational science education
A new online publication unveiled this week, the Journal Of Computational Science Education (JOCSE), will publish peer-reviewed articles focusing on various aspects of teaching computational science – the application of computing, especially supercomputing, to the solution of complex scientific and engineering problems.
Biophysicist uses supercomputer to help fight brain tumors
An Ohio State University biophysicist is using supercomputer simulations to search tens of thousands of molecular compounds to discover drugs that will block an enzyme that inhibits the human body’s ability to suppress brain tumors.
Ohio Supercomputer Center empowers development of new solar energy material
Researchers have created a new material that overcomes two of the major obstacles to solar power: it absorbs all the energy contained in sunlight, and generates electrons in a way that makes them easier to capture.
Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues combined electrically conductive plastic with metals including molybdenum and titanium to create the hybrid material. This new material is the first that can absorb all the energy contained in visible light at once.
University of Illinois computational science expert to address future of scalable computing environments
The Ohio Supercomputer Center Statewide Users Group and the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science present Wen-mei Hwu, Ph.D. as the next speaker for the Ohio Computational Science Lecture Series.
