High performance computing enables Kent State students to render complex simulations more quickly, spending less time in the classroom waiting and more time learning.

Myosin motors walk on filamentous actin tracks in a computer-generated visualization of molecular motors

Krishna Chinthalapudi's research into molecular motors requires the processing of large amounts of data. He and his team turn to the Ohio Supercomputer Center to turn days of computation into minutes. 

Charles Csuri

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) are saddened to learn of the passing of Charles Csuri, the "father of computer art." Chuck, as he was known, was a true pioneer with a remarkable talent for interdisciplinary work and a significant contributor to the creation and success of OSC and all that followed.

For more than 20 years, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has been sponsoring the Young Women’s Summer Institute (YWSI) to engage Ohio’s middle school students in STEM education topics. Although the Center had planned to offer the week-long event in person in 2021, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic prompted a pivot to an online format.

The tape library at OSC's data center in Columbus, Ohio.
The tape library at OSC's data center in Columbus is currently capable of storing up to 23.5 Petabytes (PB) with room for up to 141 PB worth of tape.

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) recently upgraded two services to allow clients to store more data at a faster rate and strengthen data backup.

CFD simulation

TotalSim US, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) consulting and solutions firm based in Dublin, Ohio, is helping the state of California certify fuel efficient and environmentally friendly tractor-trailers using resources provided by the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC).

UD Classroom

Although many college students have access to a personal computer for their studies, it can be challenging for them to learn about how modern, complex computing systems are used in the science, engineering and technology fields without working with the systems directly. 

Multi-purpose drug discovery

Xia Ning has a large portfolio of research projects at The Ohio State University that focus on understanding how artificial intelligence can be used to solve issues in health care.

Pollinator communities

With a focus on plant and pollinator species, Colin Campbell, associate professor of physics at the University of Mount Union, studies how these groups interact with one another. Some interactions are mutualistic, where both species benefit, but other interactions are only beneficial for one species. The net effect of many interactions can result in stable or unstable communities, which can be modeled as networks.
