Just a year after the opening of the Driving Simulation Laboratory, the facility is demonstrating the successes that can be achieved through collaboration between public educational institutions and industry. The lab is a partnership between The Ohio State University, Honda R&D Americas and the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) launched OSC OnDemand in January and gave presentations about it at various meetings and conferences, including the XSEDE conference in July. Through OnDemand, users can run high-performance computing (HPC) and visualization on Glenn and Oakley, our production clusters. To some of our users, I suspect OnDemand looks like a web site and nothing more. I think it is substantially more. I think it is Sputnik.
Experimental testing is fundamental to most engineering R&D. Over the past decade, large companies have leveraged simulation techniques to help expedite their design and development phase, with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) being the key tool in fluid based systems. By marrying CFD with traditional physical testing, it is possible to quickly identify and correct weaknesses in a given design and often improve performance above what would have been achievable through rig testing alone.
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.
