> Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) feels like the most transformational technology that the fewest developers know about. It’s a novel testing technique made popular by the FoundationDB team
It's not novel. That's how hardware (ASIC) testing has been done forever. The novelty is applying it to software.

Only if you exclude hardware, otherwise basically every chip design company has a cluster bigger than this.

You need an actual supercomputer to solve these problems on meaningful (competitive) timescales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_proximity_correction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_proximity_correction
