  In addition, the Supercomputing Institute collaborates with many other companies, departments, colleges, government agencies, professional societies, and universities. The Supercomputing Institute has cosponsored various research projects, symposia, and workshops with the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Department; American Chemical Society; American Physical Society; Army High Performance Computing Research Center; Chemistry Department; Chemical Physics Program; College of Education and Human Development; Computational Neuroscience Program; Compaq Computer Corporation; Computer Science Department; Cray Inc.; Department of Energy; Federation of Behavioral, Psychological, and Cognitive Sciences; IBM; Institute for Mathematics and its Applications; International Union of Pure and Applied Physics; National Science Foundation; National Aeronautics and Space Administration; Office of Naval Research; Neuroscience Department; Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President; Office of the Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School; SGI; Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics; Theoretical Physics Institute; and the University of Waterloo.

  The Supercomputing Institute is also playing a central role in the University of Minnesotaıs digital technology initiative. This initiative includes technologies based on computers, electronics, and telecommunications. Key to this initiative is the renovation of Walter Library on the Universityıs East Bank Campus into a Digital Technology Center. This renovation, which has been funded for $53.6 million, will keep the libraryıs historic 1920s decor intact while revamping the interior to include state-of-the-art technology. The Supercomputing Institute will be one of the principal tenants of the Digital Technology Center occupying the fourth floor and a portion of the basement. Completion of the renovation is scheduled for Fall 2001 with occupancy in late Fall 2001 or early Winter 2002. As part of this initiative the University has hired three faculty to provide a focus for innovation and excellence in biological computational sciences: Jiali Gao, Chemistry; Alexander Grosberg, Physics; and Hans G. Othmer, Mathematics.
