Hi all: I'm just writing to report on my experience using Starcluster, which enables the use of NumPy and Scipy in the Amazon EC2 cloud computing environment. The purpose of my email is to extol Starcluster's qualities, and suggest that the NumPy community be aware of its development.I suspect

Hi all: I'm gearing up to build an Amazon Machine Instance (AMI) for use in doing Numpy/Scipy computations on the Amazon EC2 cloud. I'm writing to ask if anyone has any advice for which (if any) publicly available AMI I should start with. If any one has any specific AMI's that they think are goo
