Building a Supercomputer From the Cloud
July 18th, 2012
Cancer researchers used the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud to create a virtual, 50,000-core supercomputer that ran a complicated simulation for the low, low price of $14,486. The neat thing is that they were able to perform a more detailed and realistic simulation on the cloud-based system than they would have on the supercomputer they actually own.

For a bunch of years I donated my computer to the SETI. Never found a signal, but thought the who concept was awesome.
