November 2008:
Dr. Miller is featured in a variety of articles that discuss the newly

September 2006: Dr. Miller agrees to join the Board of the
NYS Cyberinfrastructure Initiative and take the position of
Executive Director.

at the second New York State retreat on Cyberinfrastructure,
organized by the Cornell Theory Center and hosted at RPI.
August 2006: Dr. Miller presents an overview of CI at the
2006 International Conference on Computational Science and
Education, organized by SUNY-Brockport and held in Rochester,
NY.
July 2006: Dr. Miller gives a talk at a New York State
retreat on Cyberinfrastructure, organized by the Cornell Theory
Center.
June 2006: New York State Center of Excellence approves the creation of the Cyberinstitute of the State of New York.
2004 - Present: Provost Satish Tripathi
and President John Simpson pursue their stated objective of "dismantling" CCR
and continue to state that HPC should not be supported by a university campus.
To date, they have moved CCR into a facility 30 minutes from the primary
users, into a site with a data center approximately 1/2 the size of the
previous site, with a limited UPS system, and without a backup generator.
They stand steadfast in their proactive lack of interest in attempting to
acquire an NSF Track 2 PetaScale system and in their lack of interest in
competing for NSF Cyberinfrastructure funds. They continue to ignore their
own UB Vision2020 plan when it comes to high-performance computing,
cyberinfrastructure, informatics, and computational science & engineering,
as they believe that these are not critical to discovery in the 21st
century.
