LUMI supercomputer

CSC - IT Center for Science not only oversees two national supercomputers that fuel research and innovation in its home country of Finland, but also manages the LUMI supercomputer, which became Europe’s most powerful supercomputer in 2022.  

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) 2023-2024 Research Report is now available online. The publication highlights how OSC is advancing the use of high performance computing (HPC) in the state of Ohio and beyond with new and expanded resources and services.  

Ascend high performance computing cluster

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) will offer expanded high performance computing (HPC) resources on its Ascend cluster in early 2025, in collaboration with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

With more industries using artificial intelligence (AI) to solve an array of research and technical problems, professionals with AI expertise are in high demand. To help address this workforce need, in 2021 Kent State University launched a new master’s degree in AI through its Department of Computer Science.

This summer middle school students from across the state attended the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) Youth Watershed Summer Institute, which offered students the opportunity to collect and analyze data from a local creek, create their own watersheds and learn fundamental computer and analytical skills. The program helped students understand human impacts on biological systems, water chemistry and the importance of habitat to a system’s survival.

Astrophysicists don’t need to use a supercomputer to create models of star formation—but it can certainly help teach the concept to college students.

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) doubled enrollment in its Summer Institute (SI) this year to offer more Ohio teens the opportunity to learn how to use high performance computing skills in topical STEM areas such as data analysis, machine learning and cybersecurity. During the program students attended tours of research facilities and museums, collaborated in teams to complete STEM projects and engaged in social activities such as soccer and volleyball.

At Ohio University, faculty member Basil Masri Zada has dedicated the past several years to helping develop the coursework for the new concentration in the School of Art and Design, Digital Arts + Technology. This area of study focuses on the constantly developing relationship between technology and art and allows students to develop their own approaches to creating art in an increasingly digital age.
