Director’s Welcome
This is indeed an exciting time for the Center.
We have renamed the Center the "Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing"
to better reflect our
goal – providing
Cornell researchers, collaborators, and supporters with
best-of-breed high-performance computing solutions.
At the same time, we are leveraging Cornell’s interdisciplinary
strengths and working
with its
outstanding Faculty of Computing and Information Science
to advance the science of HPC.
Our mission is to enable
your success –
whether it’s reducing time-to-insight,
developing better products faster, or deploying cyberinfrastructure
to deliver the
data that will drive discovery for decades to come.
Our mission could not be accomplished without our partners
and supporters. There
is strength (and knowledge) in numbers or, as IT industry
pundits like to put it, “partner or perish.” Special thanks to all our partners
who enable us to serve you.
In particular, we wish to thank
Cornell University, the National Science Foundation,
New York State, and our industry supporters, from big business to small,
who partner with us to enhance economic growth and competitiveness.
Our staff is energized and eager to partner with you for
success.
We welcome comments from you about the Center. I am always
eager to hear not only about your successes, but how we can serve you
better. You may reach me
via email.
David A. Lifka, Ph.D.
Director
Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing
