Public supercomputing company Cycle can help you achieve hundreds of millions of complex computing experience, the price is very favorable. The company built its own software system on Amazon's flexible Computing Cloud (EC2), a service that rents out the core for remote use, and rents it to anyone who wants to use it by the hour. They built a 30,000-core system last September, but now it's far more than that.

This time, their client is Schrdinger, a new york-based pharmaceutical company that needs to look for potential anticancer drugs from 21 million of synthetic compounds. Schr?dinger Company has its own computing cluster, but only 1500 core, it will take a lot of time to complete this test, obviously impractical. After finding the cycle company, the test called 6724 computers, totaling 51132 cores of sync work and 58.78TB of RAM, and the results were completed in less than 3 hours. Cycle's pricing of this research depends on the number of cores used, but its peak performance costs 4828.85 dollars per hour.
Last year, Cycle launched a competition mechanism for $10,000 trillion (equivalent to 30,000 nuclear clusters running 8 hours) in an effort to encourage cloud testing for some noble cause. The Morgridge Institute has won the award for research on stem cells after defeating research proposals in areas such as diabetes, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31772.html "> Parkinson's disease and photovoltaic cells." We're not sure if cycle will do this again this year, but just in case you'd better start brainstorming now and think about what you're going to do with it.
