No, I think it's just that nobody has looked into it yet. Also, when you
say "their test app is 600,000 cores", I don't think you have any
providers of OpenStack that (yet) have anywhere near that level of cores
to provide to an application... Google has the ability to utilize its
existing hardware infrastructure of hundreds of thousands (millions?) of
servers.

Trying to compare OpenStack to Google's Compute Engine is silly IMHO.
You really should be comparing GCE with grid computing engines and HPC
solutions, not cloud computing operator software like OpenStack.

The two are very different.
