Buffalo Cluster's a Grid Cornerstone: Page 3 of 3

There are already a number of collaborative grid projects underway elsewhere in the world, as different organizations attempt to harness their collective IT resources. One high-profile example of this is Holland’s SURFnet network, a grid connecting research organizations and teaching hospitals (see Telecom Firms Grappling With the Grid, EC Boosts Grid Computing, and Texas Tech Goes for Grid).

SUNY Buffalo has been earning something of a reputation as a supercomputing trailblazer recently. Last year the school’s Center for Excellence in Bioinformatics used a cluster of IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) blade servers to build a 1.32-Teraflop supercomputer (see Blades for Buffalo ).
