Description
"Whereas, the State of Ohio has established an Ohio Supercomputer Center as a statewide resource designated to place Ohio's research universities and private industry in the forefront of computational research..."
... And so began the Ohio Supercomputer Center. The Ohio Board of Regents' 1987 resolution was modeled after centers created by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In 1987, OSC's founding members submitted an unsolicited proposal to NSF for a graphics development center. The result: the Center's state funding as a shared resource for Ohio's higher education.

In the same year, OSC's networking initiative, OARnet (Ohio Academic Resources Network), provided the first network access to OSC's first Cray supercomputer. At the time, network access was available only within Columbus boundaries. OARnet now provides Internet access to 88 Ohio higher education institutions and two million Ohioans. Since its founding, OARnet backbone usage has grown more than 100 percent per year.
