Computing power
A new grant from the National Science Foundation will more than quadruple the computing power available to UGA biologists. The $796,822 grant from the NSF, matched by more than $300,000 from the University of Georgia Research Foundation, was awarded to the UGA Institute of Bioinformatics to provide a powerful new Linux computer cluster, along with substantially more storage space, to be housed at the Research Computing Center. The IOB’s 17 participating laboratories represent a group of 60-plus scientists with a common mission. Members, who have submitted joint research and training grants, organized new courses and co-taught existing courses, include some 74 graduate students and 52 postdoctoral research scholars. They will constitute the first group of users. For more information, contact Ying Xu, 706/542-9779.
