Cloud Computing is not for Super Computing

I heard a talk about scientific high performance computing (HPC) at NASA at the Science Cloud Workshop in Delft this year. The conclusions of the guys evaluating Amazon HPC for NASA ist this [1]: Amazon HPC is cool, but not good enough for NASA (yet). One of the reasons is, that Amazon uses 10 Gigabit Ethernet (latency ~60us) wheras the NASA Supercomputer uses Infiniband network technology(latency ~2us).
So if even the NASA HPC guys think that Amazon HPC isn't ready for them yet, it is definitely not just a myth.
