Wright State Expands Research With Ohio Supercomputer Center, Opening Larger-Scale Computing to 2 Campuses

Summary
Wright State is using the Ohio Supercomputer Center to give students and faculty access to computing power beyond its local systems, enabling more complex coursework and data-heavy research.
In engineering and computer science classes, students can write, test and debug parallel programs on infrastructure that mirrors real-world research computing and industry tools.
Faculty are already applying OSC resources to machine learning, natural language processing, engineering simulations and quantum-based nanomaterials modeling, with some projects described as infeasible without that scale.
Mike VanHorn, the university’s OSC campus champion, is building an internal user group and exploring an “OSC Day” to widen adoption and reduce the learning curve around high-performance computing.
The push is part of Wright State’s broader effort to grow its research footprint, with university leaders tying wider OSC use to continued expansion of its R2 research activity.
