The query (May 19, 2014):
I have an immediate need for some linux based processing power:
"Medium-to-large linux machine with 64-512 cores (more is better but not necessary, 64 will do the job) Scientific Linux is the standard distribution for this type of machine. I can accomodate other distributions if I can work with your IT guy.
A message passing interface (MPI) library. There are at least three versions of it, any of which will do fine. I need one based on the MPI 2.0 standard. There is an MPI 3.0 but we are not using any of it.
Boost C++ extensions libraries with Boost MPI and Boost Filesystem properly compiled."
Any suggestions?

I don't have anything under my control with that many cores that isn't dedicated to (owned by) a particular group or project.
(2) The Penguin Computing on Demand (POD) service has 64 core machines: http://www.penguincomputing.com/services/hpc-cloud/pod/architecture
They claim "on demand" and "pay as you go" - I've never used them but I thought of them in this context because they are appear to be effectively closer to an actual HPC-as-a-service vendor than other commodity IAAS (Amazon, Google, MS).
