I know of a special purpose (Ruby on Rails hosting) in place and
available as you're asking:
http://www.engineyard.com
:-)
This cluster is sold in sub-machine units called "slices" which are
Xen instances. These Xen slices are grouped into environments which
share a GFS via AoE.
We provide this shared cluster service, in addition to private
cluster hosting, and complete cluster-in-a-cabinet packages.

I wonder then if there would be potential buyers for cluster time.
I've been browsing, not too deep, the net, and I've not found
(yet) any information of someone selling cluster time.
And when clusters come into place, I guess this is one of the right
places to ask ...
