In their study forthcoming in Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory, TSYS School assistant
professor Anastasia Angelopoulou and
colleagues from St. Thomas University and the University of Central Florida
point out that firms in the entertainment
industry, energy and financial sectors, military, and video gaming have turned
to high performance computing (HPC) in order to support interactive training
through the use of game-based and virtual software simulators. In response to
this trend, these researchers explore the
feasibility of extending a traditional HPC environment into a cloud-based
service that is capable of supporting multiple simultaneous interactive
simulations, while continuing to solve compute-intensive tasks. To do so, they investigate four HPC
load-balancing techniques through virtualization, software containers, and
clustering to simultaneously and optimally analyze, schedule, and execute
game-based simulation applications. They conclude that the feasibility of extending HPC capability is determined
by the selection of deployment technique, which depends on the availability of
cluster resources, the number of competing software jobs, and the type of
software to be scheduled.
The Turner College's new marketing intern Lizzy Grant , a senior marketing major from Newnan who previously attended Gordon State College, where she played varsity soccer, and is scheduled to graduate from the Turner College in May of 2024, has hit the ground running in her new position. She recently played a large role in the creation of a video tour of the Synovus Center, the main campus home of the Turner College. The video helps to guide new students on where to go in the building and who they can talk to if they help. The video showcases the Student Services Center, the main lobby, and more. The video is played as part of a loop on video screens placed throughout the Synovus Center. Lizzy's list of activities at CSU is impressive. She is the Treasurer of the Turner College's Marketing Club, the President of Marketing for the Turner College's chapter of the Financial Management Association, and an Ambassador for the Turner College. She is also the Treasurer of her s
