Thailand starts to increase scientific computational power

I heard that Thai Grid project just purchased a teraflop cluster for scienfitic & research computation. If I remember correctly, it has 200 nodes (with 2x Xeon dual core cpu, thus effectively equivalent to 800 cpu) Anyone can request to accesss it for free, at least for now. Yesterday, I also heard that BIOTEC is planning to buy another scientific cluster in the coming few months, in additional to their existing bioinformatic clusters. It 's exciting to see that computational research is now taking off well in Thailand.
