Hi relax users. I have written a tutorial to get relax running at Google Cloud Computing. The tutorial can be found here: http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Run_relax_at_Google_Cloud_Computing Consider this as a very experimental procedure. The Cost of running Google Cloud Computing has been rapidly dropping in 2015. This could be of interest to have access to 32 cores for a limited time, if some computations should be performed fast, and no immediately computer cluster is available at your facility. Any comments, hints or tips is appreciated. Is this a viable and sustainable solution?
Hi Troels, This sounds like quite a useful service if someone would like to run a heavy calculation on a cluster when they don't have access to powerful computing infrastructure. The instructions at http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Run_relax_at_Google_Cloud_Computing are very useful for setting this up. I would advise though to first run the calculation on a single core system as a test, to make sure everything is running smoothly. The user should carefully check every single warning. That would avoid running an incorrectly set up calculation on the Google Cloud Computing, so that the user doesn't have to re-run all the calculations a second time. I think this is quite a good idea! Cheers, Edward
