The Ohio Supercomputer Center held a dedication ceremony this week for its newest supercomputer, an IBM Opteron Cluster 1350. The machine, which performs 17 trillion calculations per second, is expected to assist in the development of scientific and industrial applications in fields like energy, biosciences, defense, and aerospace. The machine is the ninth fastest among U.S. academic supercomputers.
