K-State professor shares research to develop better Internet search tools that identify emerging trends
Next-generation Internet search techniques will greatly improve the ability to sift through the massive, ever-changing information posted to the Web – and enable people to better use this information for identifying critical issues such as homeland security concerns or imminent disease outbreaks, said William H. Hsu, Ph.D., an associate professor of computer and information sciences and director of the Laboratory for Knowledge Discovery in Databases at Kansas State University.
U.S. Representative announces metrology defense center of excellence funding for OSC, YSU, and partners
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan announced today a $1.6 million federal direct appropriation to establish a National Defense Center of Excellence in Industrial Metrology and 3D Imaging headquartered at Youngstown State University.
The center, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense Army Research Lab, will focus on developing and improving advanced manufacturing technologies for military and commercial uses that could have widespread economic impact across the Northeast Ohio region and throughout the United States.
OSC's Ralph Regula School of Computational Science receives prestigious award for innovative minor program
The Krell Institute today presented the 2008 Undergraduate Computational Engineering and Sciences award to Steven I. Gordon and the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science, an initiative of the Ohio Supercomputer Center, for its innovative baccalaureate minor program.
“The Ralph Regula School serves as an excellent model for combining resources from several colleges to enable large numbers of students to include computational science in their education,” Charles D. Swanson of the Krell Institute said in an earlier award letter.
Future surgeons practice delicate techniques with new computer simulation teaching tool
The next generation of surgeons – many who grew up playing video games – are using real-time, interactive computer simulations to learn the difficult and delicate surgical techniques associated with the temporal bone in the human skull.
Olivucci models potential of toxic algae photoreceptors
Ohio Supercomputer Center powers computer simulations of cyanobacteria
Columbus, Ohio (Jan. 25, 2012) – Blue-green algae is causing havoc in Midwestern lakes saturated with agricultural run-off, but researchers in a northwest Ohio lab are using supercomputers to study a closely related strain of the toxic cyanobacteria to harness its beneficial properties.
Ohio Supercomputer Center, R Systems merge efforts to aid industry
Officials from the Ohio Supercomputer Center and R Systems announced a collaborative partnership that allows companies to gain easier access to both OSC’s Blue Collar Computing programs and R Systems’ computational resources and expertise.
Bioinformatics conference aims to foster relationships
Researchers, educators and students from government, industry and universities across Ohio and the Midwest will be converging on Columbus next week to discuss bioinformatics, the relatively young field of scientific study that combines information technology and the biological sciences.
New Blue Collar Bill Seeks Federal Funds So Small Businesses Can Compute
Now even the most down home mom and pop businesses may have access to supercomputers without worrying about the cost.
A bill proposed by Senators Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, and Herb Kohl, D-Wis., seeks legislation to spend $25 million a year for five years to fund up to five supercomputer centers across the country. The idea is modeled after the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) Blue Collar Computing initiative that extends cutting-edge technology use to smaller businesses and manufacturers at a no- or low-cost rate.
