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. _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s Full login availability over Internet and the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet).
