Very impressive!
It's kind of amazing... to see the incredible amount of research and technology that went into developing the computer to study the incredibly complex information stored in the cell.
Human intelligence has been concentrated and directed at learning about genetic information.
The software collectively running the computer was anything but the statistically impossible result of random information. Rather, the software is very specific information designed for a specific tasks.
And the complexity of the software combined with the machine itself does not begin to compare with the complexity of the DNA information contained in even the "simplest" of cells.

RE: UAB unveils new supercomputer
One of the top 10 largest supercomputers in the world is in TN at OakRidge. I think it is 17000 tflops, UABs in this article is 110 tflops. Right now the cutoff to make the top 500 list looks to be about 300 tflops.
St. Jude used to have a large HPC presence and was on the top 500 supercomputers list, not sure if they have fallen off or just stopped submitting benchmarks.
