Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of working with the Summer Institute program at the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Summer Institute, SI for short, is “a two-week residential program that gives gifted Ohio high school students project-based, hands-on learning,” and each year is a unique experience for both myself and the students who participate in this program.
As today, April 22, is Earth Day 2015, I wanted to take a moment to share some of my favorite stories that show how researchers are leveraging Ohio Supercomputer Center resources to better understand Mother Earth and mankind’s relationship with her.
It was exciting to visit the remarkable State of Ohio Computer Center yesterday to help Ohio Supercomputer Center officials dedicate the state’s latest investment in state-of-the-art, shared, statewide technology resources — the HP/Intel Ruby Cluster supercomputer.
This new system is a boon for Ohio for many reasons – it promotes continued collaboration and efficiency around the state, it supports and strengthens our commercialization efforts, it helps to train a high-tech workforce, and its availability will increase the quality of the education and research here.
