As part of the project, SDSM& T is opening a new computer lab, made possible by Sun Microsystems through a donation of computer equipment and research funding together valued at over $ 400, 000. On Tuesday, November 9, at 10: 00 am SDSM& T President Dr. Richard Gowen and John Fowler, Director of Product Engineering, Internet Applications and Performance Tools, Sun Microsystems will speak at a dedication ceremony for the new lab. The dedication will take place in McLaury, room 213. " This collaborative research with Sun has given us here at SDSM& T the chance to work on state- of- the- art equipment on some very hard problems, " said Dr. Toni Logar, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at SDSM& T. " We will be building tools for high performance computing and will be working on cutting- edge research that will benefit a wide cross section of the scientific computing community." " Sun's partnership with higher education is well recognized and a key ingredient to our success, " said John Fowler, Director of Engineering, Internet Applications and Performance Tools, Sun Microsystems. " The establishment of the new computer lab at The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology provides faculty and students with an advanced research facility and will provide Sun with important new technology for our line of WorkShop high performance computing products." SDSM& T faculty and graduate students working on the research collaboration come from the mathematics and computer science, electrical and computer engineering, and humanities departments. This core group will be working with the equipment through the semester, and beginning in the spring will open it up to faculty campus- wide. The group hopes that each department will take advantage of the considerable computing power Sun has provided to the campus. For example, the atmospheric scientists can run weather models on the equipment which usually are run off- site, saving them time and gaining flexibility in their research. - more - - Page 2 - Since its inception in 1982, a singular vision -- The Network Is The ComputerTM -- has propelled Sun Microsystems, Inc. ( Nasdaq: SUNW), to its position as a leading provider of high- quality hardware, software and services for establishing enterprise- wide intranets and expanding the power of the Internet.
