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.
The Daily Digest for this Tuesday focuses on various topics such as the relationship between 3D printing and agriculture manufacturing, wireless devices straining campus networks, the increase in STEM graduates, and funding to Louisiana State University for new supercomputing efforts. There are also articles on higher education lobbying efforts focusing more on state and local governments and the student loan default rate in Ohio.
The first daily digest of the week features more articles on the effects of the government shutdown as it pertains to scientific research. We also have articles on manufacturing and productivity, changes in state energy laws, a shift in how libraries focus on targeting their audience and providing their services, along with an article on the increase of tablet computer use.
Today's Digest features articles on libraries seeking more access to e-books, manufacturing technologies in the U.S., NAMII and 3-D printing, supercomputing efforts, and Purdue pursuing more STEM education development.
The Daily Digest for today features articles on NSF awards to San Diego Supercomputer Center in California and a Penn State University project focusing on natural gas drilling. Also included are articles featuring a new patnership with India and Bangladesh pertaining to cross-border power transmission, student loan default rates, and course management company Design2Learn's new efforts in massive open online courses.
Today's Daily Digest covers stories concerning the effect of the Affordable Care Act and job growth in Ohio, historically black public colleges and increase in enrollment, attendance encouragement at local public schools, and libraries evolving into technology centers. Two more articles are featured in the DD for today, focusing on how some districts are functioning without technology officers and the NSA working on productivity during the shutdown.
Today's Daily Digest features more information on the government shutdown as it relates to higher education and various Federal agencies. We also have articles on Ohio's higher education enrollment levels dropping, defense research in relation to biotechnology, STEM education and more.
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.
Today’s Daily Digest features articles concerning legal risks involved with moving to cloud computing, the benefits of massive open online courses in 2-year institutions, the effect of the shutdown on small business investments and national security, and a new OSU software venture to improve patient education.
The Daily Digest for this Friday consists of articles revolving around education investment being the next big "bursting bubble" in the global economy, OSU's new partnership with Microlin Bio to diagnose new types of cancer, supercomputing and cleaner environmental practices, the shutdown's effect on libraries, and a software developer firm moving to Dublin, Ohio.
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.
