CycleCloud tears through twelve and a half machine-years of computing in 3 hours, delivering a 51,000 core computer with 59 TB of RAM... for $5000/hr in machine fees.

Admittedly, they pulled every spare machine in Amazon's EC2 cloud to do it, but *they did it*. Utility supercomputing, for a teeny fraction of the cost of building and maintaining a real supercomputer.

Yeah, I know. I've used EC2 before.
