OSC and Blue Collar Computing Overview
Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) Major Thrusts
• Shared, statewide services and technology leadership– Leading and collaborating research with many state and
national partners– High performance computing resources for all state public
and private higher education institutions – New collaborations for computational science education
and workforce development– Renewed focus on economic development through Blue
Collar Computing and networking for businesses
Ohio’s innovation economic development tool
– Blue Collar Computing (BCC) provides industrial clients with supercomputing resources, training, and expertise to enhance their competitiveness
– Public and private sector researchers partner to:
• Accelerate product development• Promote process improvement • Solve challenging scientific and
industrial / business problems– BCC Impacts Time, Quality and Cost
of Product & Service Development
– IBM Global Services – OSC’s partner for BCC service development and business planning
CONFIDENTIAL
BCC Partnerships: OSC, University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (USC/ISI), and Council on Competitiveness (CoC)
• OSC works closely with the CoC to promote HPC for industrial productivity
• OSC is part of the CoC and USC/ISI effort to create a National Innovation Collaboration Ecosystem (NICE)
• CoC and USC/ISI want to scale OSC BCC project up to a national level
Blue Collar Computing established for focused industrial solutions
CONFIDENTIAL
Blue Collar Computing: Filling in the missing middle
Blue Collar Computing Research Innovation Partnership with EWI
– E-Weld Predictor Portal • EWI membership (80
clients, 800 CPU hours)• Significantly increases
solve time for automotive, energy, and others for weld parameters
– 2007 TopCAT Innovation Award Finalist for Outstanding Technology Team
– PolymerOhio and KISTI (Korean Institute of Science and Technology) collaborating with OSC on related fan blade model

• BCC Example: Polymer Portal in collaboration with PolymerOhio
• Polymers and plastics is a large industry in Ohio (2800 companies, 175,000 employees)
• The polymer portal is being developed to provide:
– Expertise in polymer science and engineering
– Computational resources and software for modeling and simulation
– Databases with relevant material properties
– Advanced instrumentation – Training– Vendor relevant material– Business intelligence and strategy
Software components supporting the Polymer Portal
Established Blue Collar Computing for focused industrial solutions
