There is a trend to migrate HPC (High Performance Computing) applications to cloud platforms, such as the Amazon EC2 Cluster Compute Instances (CCIs). While existing research has mainly focused on the performance impact of virtualized environments and interconnect technologies on parallel programs, we suggest that the configurability enabled by clouds is another important dimension to explore.
