Amazon collected a super cluster on the cloud

This time Cycle Computing distinguished itself.
Especially for the calculation of one of the tasks of the pharmaceutical company Genentech, a computing cluster of 10 thousand cores was created on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service.
CentOS was installed on each cluster node. CycleCloud software, Condor and Chef software (open source) were used to control this entire sabot.

In the process of counting protein bonds on a given cluster, Genentech incurred very little cost.
During the eight hours of operation of this cluster, she paid a total of $ 8,500 (all Amazon and Cycle Computing payments are included).
Some technical characteristics of the resulting cluster:
Speed: ~ 66TFlops
RAM: 8.75 TB
Disk space: 2 Fri

The cluster consisted of 1,250 physical machines, each using 8 cores.
