Amazon Web Services

"High Performance Computing Clusters with the Amazon Cloud" 
 

Synopsis:

At his third appointment with the Amazon Web Services User Group in London, Nicola Cardace is committed to sustain with additional curiosity and momentum the highly skilled and participative crowd of experts, academics and geeks in London. He will cover a few cutting edge approaches for High Performance Computing clustering and how it can all be deployed in very short time following the on-demand paradigm of Amazon Web Services Elastic Computing Cloud. These (open-source) tools are available worldwide across the scientific and research community and are already successfully used by a number of visionary academic and commercial projects.

Instead of building your own supercomputer at home, this time you will get an inspiration on how to build one from home, instead.

The presentation is designed to encourage your participation together with an open and relaxed discussion.
