Scientists show what 100M computing hours on Google’s cloud can do — Cloud Computing News: "The projects, most of which are led by university researchers (and one by a Google researcher), tackle a variety of pharmaceutical and biological challenges, as well as the problem of analyzing petabytes of data generated by a forthcoming astronomical survey project. . . . Google’s Exacycle program is hardly the first attempt to use to cloud for good. In 2010, for example, Microsoft launched a version of the NCBI BLAST data-analysis tool on its Windows Azure cloud and gave away free access to researchers. Amazon Web Services also hosts its own research grant program that awards access to its cloud computing infrastructure. Both companies also host large genomic and other datasets that are available to anyone using their services. Free or not, though, cloud computing has proven a boon for researchers hungry for computing power but not keen on waiting in line for supercomputer resources or sending massive data across the network. . . .
