Hi, 

coming back to work a bit with AWS, I am wondering what happened to this 
thread and the associated software?
Is someone still using it?
As far as I can see, there results were not merged with JBT. (a pity)
(If I look at the current AWS pricing, today, a micro instance (spot) is 
about 0.006 USD, i.e., renting 100 for an hour would be just $0.6 ;-) or 
more than 150 for a USD/hour..
My experience so far, is the micro instances are not very powerful, but 
they might have the best cost-benefit for massive parallel problems..
Alternatively: Eight Extra Large 88 EC2 Compute Units (eight-core 2 x Intel 
Xeon) cost $0,54  (spot price at time of writing)
One or two of them would also form a powerfull possibility..  (at the time 
of the thread start above less than half the power did cost $1.60 ... and 
was already twice as fast as the computing reference above..)
For bursts the the micro instances have 2 EC2, meaning for $0.54 this would 
be about 180 EC2. - However, I am not sure about AWS definition of "short 
burst".. i.e., wether this is seconds or minutes. Moreover, this would 
require significant autoscaling and automated load distribution..

Cheers
 Klaus
