State and National-funded Resources
State and National-funded computational resources:
The Ohio Supercomputer Center is a statewide resource that provides supercomputing services and computational science expertise to Ohio university researchers as well as Ohio industries.
Any faculty member or research scientist at an academic institution in Ohio is eligible for an academic account at OSC. These researchers/educators may request accounts for their students and collaborators. OSC has started to charge university researchers for computing resources after a certain usage threshold. Therefore, if you intend to use the OSC resources, you would need to contact us first and get ready to submit a speedtype for billing, just in case the usage exceeds the threshold. Commercial accounts are also available. More information about applying for both academic and commercial accounts at OSC can be found at https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/support/account.
Research Computing group can provide free consultation and contacts to request for the OSC access. A start-up allocation is typically provided at 50,000 SUs, with minimal information verification. Further allocation would require a usage proposal and would be granted based on previous successful allocation utilization in the form of publications and peer recognition.
XSEDE integrates resources and services - supercomputers, collections of data, and new tools, makes them easier to use, and helps more people use them.
Submit an allocation request via the XSEDE portal. XSEDE resources would vary from time to time, and currently consists of the following clusters:
San Diego Supercomputing Center: Comet, Expanse
Texas Advance Computing Center: Stampede2
NCSA Delta GPU/Storage
Open Science Grid (OSG)
Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center: Bridges-2
Indiana University/Texas Advance Computing Center: Jetstream
Kentucky Research Informatics Cloud
University of Delaware: Darwin
To apply for an account, you will need the following information:
An estimate of the computing time needed in SUs, or an estimate of the amount of storage needed (in Terabytes, or TB).
A short abstract of your computational project
The Principal Investigator's CV
Similar to OSC resources, a start-up allocation can be assigned quickly and then further allocation would require annual renewal.
