Linpack helped me solve an in general intractable problem 15 years ago and kick-started my career short after I got my degree in CS, it turned out that the real world instances of the problem were indeed tractable but that was not revealed untill I tried Linpack. Needless to say I am very greatfull, and I am very happy to see Dongarra got this well earned reward.

Hehe, I'm old enough to have read the sprawl trilogy in my youth, good read indeed.

Deploying is also easily scripted using the aws-sdk package, see the docs for .S3 and .Cloudfront. Be aware though that if you have a large amount of files the the cost of invalidations at cloudfront will add up quickly, but you can how ever cherry pick files to invalidate.
