BrandPost: Work and Learn from Anywhere by Making HPC ‘Open OnDemand’

For more than 30 years, the Ohio Supercomputer Center has been on a mission to make high performance computing (HPC) resources and expertise available to university and industrial researchers in Ohio and beyond. Whether researchers need to harness the power of a parallel-processor cluster to better understand deep space, a vector processor machine to do weather modeling, or a midsize shared memory processor system to model the human heart, OSC has the systems to meet their needs.In addition to providing these leading-edge computational solutions, OSC offers Open OnDemand, a portal that simplifies access to HPC resources. This web-based portal, built on open-source software developed at OSC, serves as a “one-stop shop” for accessing HPC from anywhere. With Open OnDemand, teams can upload and download files; create, edit, submit and monitor jobs; run GUI applications; and more via a web browser, without client software to install and configure.To read this article in full, please click her

The 8-Bit Orange in the Maelstrom

Our 8-Bit Orange is an homage to the era when our company’s founders first fell in love with technology, which at the time meant Atari, ColecoVision, Mario & Zelda, the Apple II, and the Oregon Trail. It is a reminder of the alpha, the first star in our technological constellation and the legacy from which we come.

Technology advisory and management as a vocation is a constantly evolving game that, like those early days, can be played but never mastered. Thinking back to those 8-bit origins, we maintain that sense of play in our work, despite constant challenges and the massive scale of solving problems for corporations.

Additionally, most depictions of the electromagnetic and gravitational pull of supermassive black holes are orange. Our 8-Bit Orange lives in the maelstrom of a constantly shifting marketplace. Curbing the confused movement and turmoil of that change is our mission. We aim to create enough gravity to pull in the best minds in historically disparate businesses, to benefit our clients, partners, contractors, employees, and stakeholders
