If they need really 1600 cores, perhaps they should be looking at a cluster with an Infiniband connection? Infiniband isn’t cheap but they have to beat nearly a million dollars per month which gives them a lot of headroom.

They are also tied to MS SQL Server, it seems. Not sure it supports the fanciest gear out there. I've only seen Infiniband in HPC settings which are overwhelmingly non-Windows.

Another comment pointed out that the Reddit poster was probably just making the whole thing up, the account had made a bunch of different posts indicating they had a bunch of incompatible high-ranking jobs. The creative writing on that site is very odd.
