Scott Hooper's proposal to the Ohio Supercomputer Center was approved. The proposal "A Parallel Processing Facility for Complex Biological Systems" was one of 5 projects that were approved in round 3 of the "Cluster Ohio" awards. The award will provide a cluster of 28 parallel high performance computers (at a cost of about $100K) that will be housed in the University Computing Center and will be accessible to authorized users via the internet.

The proposal was the only one awarded to a department of biological sciences-- 3 others were in Physics and Astronomy departments, and one was in a materials science department.  It is also the only award to Ohio University.

This new capability will be particularly helpful to members of the Quantitative Biology Institute and to two new faculty members Kim Cuddington and Warren Currie whose computational needs can make use of parallel processing.
