1500 compute nodes on GPC don't make a supercomputer the same way that all the computers on campus don't. Table stakes are a high speed interconnect, shared data storage, and a job scheduler. I know of a few devices built out of DGX machines with InfiniBand interconnects that are about half the size, and they were massive projects as well. You can't get there from generic cloud compute.
