Is anyone selling distributed parallel processing to universities and laboratories based on Amazon’s cloud computing initiative? Even if the base price per teraflop isn’t great, you can scale linearly and you don’t need any physical space at all… it seems like there would be a lot of benefits.
There is some discussion on the idea here, but I haven’t seen any serious implementations.
