Recent survey identifies gaps in educational resources needed to train America's future computational scientists
A recent survey of American researchers, software developers, educators and students reveals that a significant national effort is needed to fill gaps in education and training materials needed to prepare tomorrow’s computational scientists to take advantage of high performance supercomputers.
The Report on High Performance Computing Training and Education Survey provides a baseline assessment of the skills and concepts required by American computational scientists tackling challenging research problems with high performance computing (HPC) technology.
NSF funds research to simulate geoscience field trips
Visualizations will allow students with mobility impairments to explore caves
Columbus, Ohio (Aug. 17, 2011) – College students with mobility impairments who are studying for a career in the geosciences will soon be able to explore a computer-generated simulation of a large cave system to meet the degree requirements of field-based learning experiences.
Better turbine simulation software to yield better engines
Chen leverages Ohio Supercomputer Center resources to refine TURBO
Columbus, Ohio (Dec. 20, 2011) – For most of us, the word “turbomachinery” may conjure up images of superheroes or fast exotic cars, but in reality most people leverage turbomachinery to get things done nearly every day.
New journal promotes computational science education
A new online publication unveiled this week, the Journal Of Computational Science Education (JOCSE), will publish peer-reviewed articles focusing on various aspects of teaching computational science – the application of computing, especially supercomputing, to the solution of complex scientific and engineering problems.
Biophysicist uses supercomputer to help fight brain tumors
An Ohio State University biophysicist is using supercomputer simulations to search tens of thousands of molecular compounds to discover drugs that will block an enzyme that inhibits the human body’s ability to suppress brain tumors.
Ohio Supercomputer Center empowers development of new solar energy material
Researchers have created a new material that overcomes two of the major obstacles to solar power: it absorbs all the energy contained in sunlight, and generates electrons in a way that makes them easier to capture.
Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues combined electrically conductive plastic with metals including molybdenum and titanium to create the hybrid material. This new material is the first that can absorb all the energy contained in visible light at once.
University of Illinois computational science expert to address future of scalable computing environments
The Ohio Supercomputer Center Statewide Users Group and the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science present Wen-mei Hwu, Ph.D. as the next speaker for the Ohio Computational Science Lecture Series.
$695,000 NSF grant to fund Ohio computational science project Ralph Regula School, community colleges to develop associate degree program
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a three-year, $695,000 grant to develop an associate degree program in computational science to a statewide coalition involving an educational initiative of the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and three Ohio community colleges.
Blue Collar Computing Concept Sparks Imagination of Supercomputing Industry Insiders
Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) Executive Director Stan Ahalt’s Blue Collar Computing speech on high performance computing (HPC) for industry and research applications received enthusiastic support at the SC2004 conference in Pittsburgh, Pa., last week.
As more than 1,000 international audience members listened, Ahalt explained that HPC has reached a critical juncture as economic forces continue to shape its market segment.
