Carnegie Mellon Awarded NSF Funds for Magnetic Data Storage Research Center Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was recently awarded funding by the National Science Foundation to establish a center for research on magnetic and magneto-optical recording technologies used for data storage in future high performance computer Systems, high définition télévision, and audio and video recording. The Data Storage Systems Center, one of 19 NSF Engineering Research Centers and the second such facility to be awarded to Carnegie Mellon, will be funded at $1.97 million the first year. Funding over the next rive years could reach as much as $14.6 million, with Carnegie Mellon contributing an additional $1.7 million in capital eqiupment funds over the same period. The Center will incorporate Carnegie Mellon's industrially funded Magnetics Technology Center (MTC), which was established in 1983. Researchers at the MTC, which is funded at more than $3 million annually, now work with 16 companies sponsoring research on magnetics. According to the Center's director, electrical and computer engineering professor Mark H. Kryder, the NSF support will bring about a long-term, focused research program not possible with industrial funding alone. "Though a lot has been written recently about the semiconductor business going to Japan and threatening the U.S. computer industry, the data storage business is equally as critical," he said. According to Kryder, the data storage business generated $40 in sales in 1987 and represents and even larger segment of the computer industry than semiconductors. The Center's initial goal is to produce disk drives by 1994 with storage densities more than 25 rimes greater than those operating today. The spécifie goal is to achieve storage of over 10 gigabytes of information on a 3.5-inch disk drive. Longer term goals include advances of another factor of 25 beyond the initial target. According to Carnegie Mellon Provost Angel G. Jordan, the Center will also fill an important educational need. The current output of students with master's and doctor's degrees in the field is less than 25% of U.S. industrial requirements, said Jordan. The Center, which will
