Dec 2-3, 2008 - On the 9th floor of an NYU building overlooking Washington Square in
Manhattan, over 30 researchers, technical support folks, and administrators gathered together
to assess their progress and plot their path forward in creating the New York State grid, or
NYSGrid, a collaborative consortium of over 20 New York research and educational institutions.
Heather Steward, Director of Academic Technology Services at NYU,
opened the meeting that would cover technical progress, research accomplished, and collaborations created.

NYSGrid Steering Committee Director Christine Haile introduced
researchers from NYU, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Syracuse University who reported on how
they collaborated over NYSGrid to advance their research. This included high speed transfers of
terabytes of astronomical data, modeling of helicopter rotors, use of massively parallel supercomputers
to model medical organs, development of new tools to access the grid, and simulating how enzymes work.

Technical progress reports included collaborative working relationships with researchers learning
to use the grid, connectivity to other grids, better tools to manage jobs, and a state of the grid
report.

Mike Ridley, NYSTAR, summed up the rapid progress made by New York State government and institutions
in creating a pathway to a world-class cyberinfrastructure to support research and economic development.
