Build a 64-Core Parallel Cluster and Run a Dynamic Simulation in Less Than
10 Minutes. Amazon Web Services]

*HPC in the Amazon Cloud – Free Trial*

We have created a video
tutorial<http://www.hpcwire.com/ct/uz5586216Biz11006288>that is a
hands-on guide to building a 64-core cluster. The tutorial will
introduce Amazon EC2, demonstrate how to create and launch cluster
instances, and then demonstrate how to build an 8-node cluster and run a
molecular dynamics simulation. All in less than 10 minutes.

We are coupling the video tutorial with a free trial via a $20.00 credit you
can apply to your Amazon Web Services account. $20.00 will more than cover
the cost of the trial.

Sign up for the free trial

*Why Amazon Web Services?*

   - *Efficiency* Eliminate the cost and complexity of procuring,
   configuring and operating expensive in-house compute clusters.
   - *Innovation* Increase the speed of innovation and output by accessing
   compute resources in minutes instead of months.
   - *Scalability* Scale compute resources up to the size and time
   appropriate for each workload, then shut them down when no longer needed.

*Amazon Cloud and HPC*

Researchers and businesses alike have complex computational workloads such
as tightly coupled parallel processes or demanding network-bound
applications, from genome sequencing to financial modeling. Regardless of
the application, one major issue affects them both: procuring and
provisioning machines. In typical cluster environments, there is a long
queue to access machines, and purchasing dedicated, purpose-built hardware
takes time and considerable upfront investment. Amazon Web Services gives
you the efficiency you need to quickly innovate and scale.
