Cluster Ohio
Cluster Ohio, an initiative of the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), the Ohio Board of Regents and the OSC Statewide Users Group, encourages Ohio faculty to build local computing clusters.
Through a hardware grant program, OSC provides Ohio faculty second-generation cluster computing systems, complete with on-site maintenance and software, when we make planned upgrades to the OSC clusters. Clusters typically need upgraded every 24 months; the call for proposals usually is released within the same timeframe.
OSC also encourages institutions with clusters to participate in Cluster Ohio. Associate members can share idle cycles and participate in a statewide Globus (or similar) environment.

Commodity Cluster Symposium
Hosted by the Army Research Laboratory Major Shared Resource Center, Raytheon, and OSC, this annual international program addresses challenges associated with the rapidly expanding interest and acceptance of the use of commodity computer clusters for scientific applications. The symposium explores the suitability of these clusters to operate within a heterogeneous production-computing environment to solve very large scientific applications that require extensive computer resources and execution times.

Grid Computing
To use the grid computing resources in Cluster Ohio, each user must have a grid certificate. For the step-by-step process, see the guide for Obtaining an OSC Cluster Ohio Grid User Certificate.
Cluster Ohio Research Initiative
Join the Cluster Ohio community to share common cluster computing and research interests. See OSC Cluster Ohio Software for more information about the software we develop, use and maintain for the Cluster Ohio project.
