Auto Scale Clusters (AWS Parallel Cluster)
- nathan butterworth
Ronin allows the use of the AWS Parallel Clusters, a neat platform which allows you to essentially create your own HPC/supercomputer! For details on how to set up a cluster set up a cluster see:
https://blog.ronin.cloud/create-cluster/
And to see how to use it effectively visit:

This is a really cool facility giving you instant access to huge resources (with a cost).
Observations about the Ronin configuration
I have noticed some combinations (of scheduler/nodes/spot market) do not seem to seem to work. So be sure to test your configuration with your workflow before leaving it running.
Only “/apps” and “/shared” are visible from the compute nodes, so any libraries, software, and data needed must be installed here.
