The goal seems to be: "Virtual Fugaku provides a way to run software developed for the supercomputer, unchanged, on the AWS Cloud". Is AWS running A64FX's? Is there more info on all the details of this somewhere? I think it is a compelling goal to have portability across compute and am curious how they are going about it and what tradeoffs they've made. Software portability is one level of hard and performance portability is another. I wish we could get an OCI spec for running a job that could fill this purpose

It looks like they want to make the transition between Fugaku and AWS and vice versa easier.
