The potential of Clouds for scientific computing

A couple of weeks ago Armando gave an invited talk at the Frontiers of Engineering symposium organized by the National Academy of Engineering. He talked about the potential of Cloud Computing for scientists and engineers who aren’t primarily programmers. It was well received overall and a short article based on it will appear in print soon (and be posted here). Meanwhile, here are the slides in case anyone’s interested. As with the techreport, feel free to use/cite as needed, but please point people at our copy rather than providing a separate internal copy, so we can count downloads etc.
