You did not understand correctly

see http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?238965

I also read that in another post that the prices for one hour of the super
computer are very high so I guess that people need to be rich in order to use
the super computer.

I guess that in order to use the super computer you need a lot of hours of
testing in the super computer to see that things work and if you need to pay
some hundreds of dollars for an hour then it is something that most programmers
cannot even consider and I talk only about 60 cpu's because the prices for 1024
cpu's are even higher.
