OpenLab sets new usage record across three North American universities

OpenLab has reached an exciting new milestone. Over the past two weeks, the platform recorded around 150 parallel users, marking our highest level of simultaneous activity to date. Even more importantly, this surge comes from three different universities across North America, reflecting OpenLab’s growing role in advanced engineering education and research.

Students at Texas A&M University, the University of Waterloo (Canada), and the University of Alberta (Canada) have been actively using OpenLab to support specialized research tasks in control theory. These institutions are among the most respected in engineering and applied sciences, and their adoption of OpenLab highlights a broader trend: universities are increasingly turning to cloud-based, interactive simulation tools to enhance both teaching and research.

Over the two-week period, classes and research groups at these universities relied on OpenLab for tasks such as system modeling, controller design, and computational experimentation. The consistent parallel usage peak demonstrates that OpenLab’s infrastructure can effectively support high-load academic activity across multiple campuses simultaneously.

This milestone reinforces OpenLab’s mission: to make advanced, high-performance simulation and research tools accessible to students and researchers everywhere. We are excited to continue collaborating with world-class universities and to support the next generation of engineers and scientists.
