Re:10,000-core Linux supercomputer built in Amazon cloud on Wednesday April 06, 2011 @06:58PM (#2417359)
Am I missing something? If the performance scales linearly, they are at 1000 computers internally (1/10 * 10,000), and it was said to take 8 hours. That would only be 80 hours if they hadn't have used this service.

This makes me believe someone is lying about something in this article.
