I think you're right there's large amount of compute power being used on simulations/computations of some sort on AWS. But I don't think they are "HPC", which is understood as requiring rapid exchange of large amounts of information between nodes. It's more like a "non-HPC compute cluster" which are also useful and which you find in many places both in academia and industry.
