I have a pretty powerful 8-core processor with 6Gb of RAM, so I didn't have the need for EC2 yet, even when I ran optimization with the large data sets. However, I did experiment with GridGain, which is a framework for distributed optimization, and I found it very intuitive. With just a few lines of code, JBT optimizer can actually run distributed: http://groups.google.com/group/jbooktrader/browse_thread/thread/2d79da5a63758709/ There was at least one person who was planning to use EC2 with JBT, but I am not sure how it went: http://groups.google.com/groups/profile?enc_user=gg85sxIAAAChfaE5hFbyxyliuQ6sjOxt8rhlH0Pnl47z4AZhN98BFg --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
