At the Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) conference, researchers gather each summer to share innovations in high performance computing (HPC), data, and advanced applications.
At Marietta College, classes are small and professors often know students by name. Behind the quiet campus setting, physics professor Joseph Smith was running simulations to understand the extreme forces of the universe.
For Sydney Decker, evolution isn’t just a topic from a biology textbook—it’s the foundation of her scientific curiosity. A postdoctoral researcher in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University, Decker has been driven by one overarching question since the beginning of her undergraduate career nearly 10 years ago.
When Lori Kumler began work as an instructional technologist at Denison University in 2023, the higher education institution asked her to evaluate the need for onsite high performance computing (HPC) resources to accommodate the growing number of new faculty with research computing needs.
When Rachel Price enrolled in Physics 5680: Big Data Analytics in Physics, she expected a challenging elective. What she didn’t expect was a new career goal.
Small colleges across America may be best known for their liberal arts curricula, but a growing number rely on high performance computing (HPC) resources to support the burgeoning research endeavors of their faculty and students.
The Global Open OnDemand (GOOD) conference attracted 170 attendees from 10 countries during its inaugural event March 17-20, 2025, at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. More than 50 high performance computing (HPC) professionals, developers and researchers gave talks about how they have used and adapted the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) Open OnDemand web portal to advance research computing at their institutions.
On a rainy Friday last October, 14 Ohio University Digital Art and Technology students arrived at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) in Columbus, eager to take on a one-of-a-kind challenge. Their task: design the endcap for OSC’s newest high performance computing (HPC) cluster, Cardinal, using the cluster’s own advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) newest research computing cluster, Cardinal, has been ranked No. 15 on the Green500 list, which ranks the top energy-efficient high performance computing (HPC) systems around the globe.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous industries, yet its transformative power often remains out of reach for those outside specialized fields. Farmers, for example, face challenges in harnessing advanced tools that could streamline operations and solve critical issues.
