Definitely, and agreeing with ajdecon. There are a lot more to supercomputing than just having lots of machines in a cluster. Special network connection, network topology, routing techniques, specialized CPU/GPU, specialized storage, all these can make a difference. I'm sure you can build a special "Amazon for Supercomputing" infrastructure, rent it out to clients, and beat AWS on price/performance. Just add fast network, mix of CPU/GPU, SSD, large RAM and distributed RAM disk. Have some standard network topologies for easy configuration. Have some standard cluster layouts for different computing needs. May be having the software in place for the typical supercomputing needs. The clients just need to provide the data to a cluster and the answer will be spitted out.
