<div dir="ltr">Thanks Ian,<div><br></div><div>That's great advice. Would you be willing to add a section on the wiki for cloud processing for nubes to Amazon like me (and others)?

That's 32 cores and 244GB of RAM! I didn't specifically time it, but if memory serves that chewed through the Langley dataset in about an hour end to end.<br>
<br>
Just make sure that you request the spot instance in an availability zone that hasn't had price spikes in the past ~24 hours, and that you set the Max Price well above any spikes so your server doesn't get automatically shutdown based on price:<br>
