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.
In spring 2022, Michigan State University (MSU) received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop the Data Machine, a new research computing resource that could accommodate the analysis of large data sets, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning work.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has released version 4.0 of Open OnDemand, a web-based client portal used by high performance computing (HPC) centers around the globe, to offer clients new ways to customize and manage their work.
In 2024, Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) staff connected with the national research computing community at four major conferences, fostering collaboration between academic researchers and industry leaders to drive advancements in high performance computing (HPC).
