Cornell univer sity i thursday hailed the Start of operations at the University s supercomputer research Center saying it could Lead to a Renaissance in human thought. In ceremonies at the Center for theory and simulation in science and engineering director Kenneth g. Wilson said computers Are forcing changes in thinking unparalleled for 300 years. We Are heading into. A Renaissance he said. The changes that computers Are making in communications equal the changes brought about by Wilson said computers demanded a third body of human thought la go along with rational analysis formulated in classical Lima and scientific experimentation developed in the last thousand years. The third is a marriage of human and artificial intelligence which is spreading to every intellectual discipline there is he said. The result will Force the Extension of Man s imagination he said. Scientists have said a supercomputer s number crunching capabilities would allow the simulation of Complex events such As the stress generated by storms or earthquakes on buildings. Wilson who won the 1982 Nobel prize for physics said such computer simulation would eventually explore nuclear Structure and the secrets of life itself. Wilson was in the Vanguard of supercomputer proponents said Lawrence Lee who Heads the National science foundation s $200 million computer program. Cornell is one of four centers the foundation designated last february to receive Grants in the next five years to Blaze new paths for using computers up to 1,000 times As powerful As existing computers. The others Are located at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign the University of California san Diego and the von Neumann Center at Princeton . However Only Cornell chose to tackle parallel processing a technique that gives the computer the capability of breaking Down a problem into a series of slept and then solving the Steps simultaneously. Wilson said the theory Center was devel oped from at least 20 previous interdisciplinary project at Cornell which is moving in the direction of becoming the no.

It shipped an ism 3084-qx mainframe computer to the University sept. 23. In the next five weeks engineers hooked it up to four floating Point systems inc. Processors each capable of storing up to 4 million words of memory.
