You are invited to come hear the details of a new AWS/CSAIL Grant Program that will be made available to the CSAIL Research Community.

It is possible to bootstrap a personal compute cluster on Amazon Web Services within minutes, but really what does that mean? Which services should you use, and what are the implications of those services on your how you develop algorithms and data analysis pipelines? In this talk, we'll cover a few of the essential services for scientific computing on AWS, as well as discuss some practical examples of using AWS for HPC workloads.
