Dear Freesurfers
I was testing a Cluster-on demand, pay-per-hour-used service US based and it seems pretty good. I ran 100 recon-all in 33 hours!!!
The cost of one hour of CPU is USD 0.77
The quote I received is a package of 200.000 hours / month with an hour priced as USD 0.25 cents
This figure represents 5500 Freesurfer recon-all per month.
If many people in the list are interested in sharing the expenses I think it would be a quick way to process tons of brains.
The info I received is that this cluster is based in Florida and have 300 cpus
Hope this helps,
PPJ
