State and National-funded Resources

State and National-funded computational resources:

OSC (Ohio Supercomputing Center)

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.

ACCESS (https://access-ci.org)

ACCESS is a program established and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation to help researchers and educators, with or without supporting grants, to utilize the nation’s advanced computing systems and services – at no cost to you.

Whether you’re looking for advanced computational resources to take your research to the next level, want to contribute resources to the ACCESS ecosystem, explore a career in advanced cyberinfrastructure or experience the amazing scientific discoveries enabled by supercomputers, you’re in the right place.
