Udacity's parallel computing class is offering AWS resources to thousands of students:
http://blog.udacity.com/2013/02/intro-to-parallel-programming-promotion.html This MOOC thing is really taking off. Imagine your standard advanced computation class giving you hours of time on a GPU farm! Admittedly this is hype for Amazon and NVIDIA, but still great for the students. -- Owen *Amazon Web Services <http://aws.amazon.com/> is generously supporting students by providing up to 30 hours of credit for on-demand access access to GPU compute instances on Amazon EC2 <http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/> to qualifying students. While not necessary to take the course, these instances will allow you to experiment further with parallel and distributed programming. To take advantage of this, you simply have to: * ** - *Be one of the first 5,000 students to complete Unit 1, including the Unit 1 problem set* - *Be one of the first 1,000 students to complete all units and problem sets through Unit 7*
