Baseline Magazine - Calculator: Computer Costs by the Hour:
"Grid computing can be cost-effective for organizations that run lots of complex applications and need them completed quickly. In the example in our worksheet, Baseline calculates what it would cost a multibillion-dollar financial services firm to run a trial-and-error simulation application on 24 servers with 64 CPUs. This example shows it would be smart to take Sun up on its deal of $1 per CPU per hour. The company's own costs are higher."
