Simple answer yes. If on premise HPC doesn't change to reflect the way the software is developed today then the users will in the future prefer cloud HPC. I guess it is a brave new world for on premise HPC as far as that the users now, and likely more in the future, will have alternatives thus forcing the on premise HPC to "compete" in order to survive. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
