Technical software specialist John R. Jackson peers through a window at the opposite end of a new robotic-tape library in Purdue's machine room containing the university's supercomputer and several high-performance computer "clusters" operated by Information Technology at Purdue's Rosen Center for Advanced Computing. The robotic drive selects appropriate tapes when users request data. A new cyberinfrastructure center at Purdue will use the computers, along with other hardware, software and facilities, to enhance research and education and set the stage for more federal funding. The center, based at the university's Discovery Park, is being funded for the first three years with a portion of a $10 million Lilly Endowment grant.
