The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) is a state-funded,
shared supercomputer resource for researchers at Ohio col-
leges and universities. Commercial industry uses the CRAY
on a cost-recovery basis. In September 1989 a CRAY Y-
MP8/864 will be available to users.
The Ohio Supercomputer Graphics Project is a major component
of the OSC's program. The Project has developed a graphics
visualization toolkit, apE, for displaying and animating
results of scientific computation on several supported
workstations. This developing product is commercially
available through the Center.
The Ohio Visualization Laboratory (OVL) houses hardware for
visualizing scientific results of projects conducted on the
CRAY. The OVL includes high-end (e.g., Abekas, Pixar, and
Stellar) workstations and paper output devices; display
equipment and software; and video equipment, including
display, conversion, and animation storage facilities.
Users generally come to the Laboratory to use equipment,
although much equipment can be used over TCP/IP networks.
