“UB and Sun Microsystems to Develop ‘Poor Man’s
Supercomputer'”

“The Center for Computational Research at the University at
Buffalo and Sun Microsystems have launched a research partnership
aimed at developing a network of high-end workstations that will
deliver the power of a supercomputer at a fraction of the
cost.”

“At the core of the project is a collection of 64 Sun Ultra 5
333Mhz workstations, which were acquired with a grant from Sun
Microsystems and matching funds from UB.”
