NEW YORK STATE -- The New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) announced the awarding of a $3 million grant over three years from its Center for Advanced Technology Development Program to establish the High Performance Computation Consortium (HPC2). The consortium consists of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stony Brook University, the University at Buffalo and NYSERNet. NYSGrid, a consortium of institutions collaborating to create a blueprint for New York's 21st century cyberinfrastructure, and NYSERNet, provider of statewide networking and communications, have approved a Memorandum of Understanding that creates a framework to better support the research and education communities in New York State. NYSGrid becomes an initiative of NYSERNet, which will provide a legal and administrative home to the grassroots collaboration. CHICAGO, Ill. - December 5, 2006 - Today at its annual Fall Member Meeting and 10-year anniversary celebration, Internet2 unveiled the first major segment of its new nationwide advanced network. The consortium also announced that NYSERNet, the research and education network consortium serving New York State, has become the first regional network to connect to the new Internet2 Network infrastructure. NEW YORK STATE -- Nineteen New York institutions have joined to create NYSGrid, a 21st century cyberinfrastructure initiative that will provide its constituency with unprecedented resources for research, education, and community outreach. NYSGrid resources will aggregate high-end computing, networking, data storage, visualization, and most importantly, intellectual capital from sites across the State. When IBM Corp.'s new Blue Gene supercomputers are up and running later this year at Rensselaer Technology Park, researchers throughout the Capital Region will have a powerful new tool to use. "Magical research will flow from this," predicted Tim Lance, president and chairman of the New York State Education and Research Network, or NYSERNet, based at the park in North Greenbush. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will operate the world's most powerful university-based supercomputing center by the end of the year, RPI President Shirley Ann Jackson announced Wednesday afternoon. The $100 million Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations is a collaboration of RPI, IBM Corp. and the state of New York, which will split the cost over a five-year period. Jackson was joined at the announcement by state Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno; John E. Kelly III, IBM senior vice president of technology and intellectual property and an alumnus of RPI and Union College in Schenectady; and Omkaram Nalamasu, RPI vice president for research. Tim Lance is president and chairman of Internet2 Affiliate Member NYSERNet, the New York State Education and Research Network. He also chairs the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University at Albany, where he holds the rank of Distinguished Service Professor, and previously served as the campus CIO. Ann Arbor, MI and Syracuse, NY - October 31, 2005 - NYSERNet, New York University, and Internet2 today announced the first successful demonstration of production native IPv6 multicast networking on a nationwide North American network.
