Oya's original message about the topic:
Dear DLIT Colleagues,
I invited Dave Lifka to join our June Developers' Forum - June 23 noon-1pm at 703 Olin Library. Dave is the director of the Center for Advanced Computing. His group has an important role in the Cornell cyberinfrastructure development efforts. I asked him to assess the general landscape of high-performance computing at Cornell and also talk about the services and consultancies provided by his group. This will be a casual conversation so let's be prepared to give him some highlights from our program. As we explore the Library's role in cyberinfrastructure initiatives, it will be great to get a better sense of what CAC offers.
If you are planning to join the session and are not familiar with cyber-issues, you may want to browse through one of the following reports:

Best, Oya
