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,
