Warp on AWS

[mcia...@umich.edu]

Hi Anthony,

Moving data up from external hard drives may take some time. But, perhaps the best way is to do some sort of 'streaming' analysis on the AWS machine where you 1) start up the machine with Warp and then start pushing your movies to it for it to do the real time motion correction / CTF estimation. 

To be honest, I'm still working out the workflow for this type of situation as I'm also interested in giving this a spin.

Regarding the software environment, I will check with Dmitry if I can distribute the software environment to you so that you don't need to install everything.

I'll let you know,

Mike

I'm looking to try Dmitry's Warp on AWS, and he had mentioned that you were successful in running it on the cloud. I was wondering if you'd be willing to offer some advice:
1) Would you mind sharing your AWS specification? I'm quite new to it and there seems to be a lot of options to choose from.
2) How much would it cost you per unit of time with that specification?
3) Was uploading data a drawback? I have roughly 10Tb of data saved on hard disk drives and was wondering if uploading it on the cloud would be a bottleneck.
