[Beowulf] Google: 1 billion computing core-hours for researchers to tackle huge scientific challenges

[Vincent Diepeveen]

Regrettably the link is not available anymore. Can you expand on it?

As they count the cloud computing in units of 1Ghz per cpunode hour,
1 billion computing core hours is something like 1000 gpu's for 1 week?

1 billion sounds impressive nevertheless.

Vincent
