Computer Facilities (Hardware)


Computational facilities are crucial for a modern graduate research training. Over the last five years, a great deal of effort and funds have been expended in acquiring and linking an impressive array of workstations and computers. In addition, Ohio University has high-speed access to the Ohio Supercomputer Center in Columbus with its Cray Y-MP and the new T3D parallel processor.
