Center for Smart, Sustainable, and Resilient Infrastructure

Digital Futures High Performance Computing Center

The Digital Futures (DF) High Performance Computing (HPC) center provides the tools, talent and training necessary to accelerate computational and data-enabled research and knowledge creation.

UC’s HPC and HPDA (High Performance Data Analytics) supercomputer, popular open-source data analysis software packages, high-speed data transfer tools and integrated high-speed storage environment are available to project teams and collaborators. These tools, and others, can be used for proof-of-concept projects, testbeds for new ideas, code benchmarking, interactive analysis and data sharing/reproducibility.

Talented research computing professionals are available to help you scale your workflows from workstation to HPC, optimize your code and take advantage of the massive processing power available in the GPUs for your modeling and simulation, ML and AI projects.

The Center for Smart, Sustainable, and Resilient Infrastructure develops novel materials, approaches, and technologies used to design, construct, evaluate, and manage sustainable and resilient infrastructure necessary for next-generation transportation.

About

Transportation infrastructure is vital to the economic well-being of the city of Cincinnati, the state of Ohio, and the United States as a whole. The rise of new technology-driven trends in the automotive sector, such as diverse mobility, autonomous driving, electrification and connectivity requires modifications to existing infrastructure to ensure the successful, rapid, and broad implementation of these automotive technologies. The Center for Smart, Sustainable, and Resilient Infrastructure addresses infrastructure issues and challenges due to next-generation transportation and provides leadership for next-generation transportation infrastructure research, science, and workforce development. As such, the center’s objectives include:

Ensure the infrastructure preparedness for next-generation transportation and facilitate the smoother transition to it.
Improve the sustainability and resilience of transportation infrastructure.
Help in creating visionary and innovative engineers, researchers, and scientists of 21st century to transform the transportation infrastructure.
Expand the transportation workforce and help them develop the knowledge and skills that will be needed for next-generation transportation infrastructure.
Foster the partnership between the University of Cincinnati, various levels of the transportation agencies (federal, state, and local), and the private sector for rapid implementation of research into practices.
