Even a year ago, the marketplace for new life science startup companies was becoming a bit tighter than it had been in the past, though investments were still being made. / / That year the magazine also spoke with SUNY Buffalo's Jeffrey Skolnick, who was ahead of the curve and replacing his 4,000-processor cluster with a 1.32 teraflop IBM blade system. The blades, he said, allowed for a smaller footprint. Skolnick has since moved to GEORGIA TECH, where he heads up the Center for the Study of Systems Biology. One of the facilities at the center is a RAZOR cluster, a 1,000-node IBM cluster that can perform 8.5 trillion calculations per second. As of January 2007, the cluster contained 1,154 blades.
