Anyone built cp2k on Amazon EC2 or Google Compute Engine?

Just an update, I managed to install openmpi on Google Compute Engine. I
also installed the OSU benchmarks from
http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/benchmarks/
I launched two 64cpu instances and disabled the hyper-threading ( so
effectively 32 cpu machines ). I ran the OSU benchmarks and got latency of
20-25 microseconds. For bandwidth I got ~750 MB/sec (~ 6 Gbps ). For
comparison, our local Infinband cluster has latency of 1-2 microseconds and
bandwidth of 4500 MB/sec ( ~40 Gbps )
Are these specs sufficient to see some parallel performance gains with
cp2k? I do not want to bother building cp2k if it is not worth it.
