In a year already full of twists and turns, the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) decommissioning of their Ruby Cluster last month served as another notable event of 2020. The $1.5 million system was built in 2014 and ran more than 2 million jobs over six years.
Gabrielle Adams, a 19-year-old at The Ohio State University and an aspiring chemistry major, has always had a knack for science. From the Columbus area, Adams enjoys solitude hikes, spending time with her nieces and exploring the Ohio State community.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center understands the sadness Ohio middle and high schoolers felt with the cancellation of this year’s OSC summer STEM programs due to COVID-19, but summer is still an exciting time to develop new skills and complete projects no matter where you are.
The emergence and spread of the new respiratory Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a Public Health Emergency in the United States on Jan. 31, 2020. The outbreak, now a pandemic, has catalyzed significant activity by federal, state and local governments; the healthcare community; residents across the country; and people around the world. This is not the first emerging infectious disease event that the world will face, nor will it be the last.
Unique innovations, enriching collaborations and insightful discussions have typified the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) over the past year.
In 2019, Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio expanded their reach by opening up a 100,000-square-foot satellite campus offering 18 academic programs in Centerville, Ohio.
Open OnDemand is an NSF-funded, open-source HPC portal that allows for ease of access to HPC resources. This accessibility unleashes the power of supercomputing to advance discovery and innovation.
Numerous information technology professionals from around the state gathered at the OARnet office on Oct. 23 to attend the Member Meeting.
OhioLINK supports open access in a variety of ways, from the first open access (OA) Electronic Theses and Dissertation collaborative started in 2001 to our current support for Open Education Resources (OER) and our OA pilot with Wiley.
Here’s a recap of recent activity:
Many OhioLINK institutions are promoting and hosting events for the 12th annual Open Access Week (October 21-25), an international week that focuses on resources that are freely available to anyone online.
The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) delivers world-class technologies, information and expertise to benefit academic, government and industrial researchers and boost Ohio's economy. OH-TECH is comprised of three member organizations: the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) and the Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK). We hope to become your resource for news and information on supercomputing, networking and library trends.
