Has anyone run ST-Sim on the Microsoft cloud computing platform? I have a very large model which has many strata that I would like to run for many iterations and with many non-spatial pixels. I could use some advice about setting that up and likely costs, etc.
We usually run large simulations using AWS EC2 instances. You can create and run simulation using either Windows or Linux instances. Linux instances are more cost-effective, but are also more complicated for installing and using SyncroSim.
For information on AWS EC2 instances, see: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/getting-started/
For information on AWS Linux EC2 instances, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html
For instructions on how to use SyncroSim for Linux, see: https://docs.wordpress-740767-4671436.cloudwaysapps.com/getting_started/inst_lin.html and https://syncrosim.com/forums/topic/error-running-spatial-models-with-syncrosim-on-linux/
For cost estimates, see: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/Something else to keep in mind is that SyncroSim multiprocesses across iterations. Depending on how many iterations you have, you may want to choose an instance that has many vCPUs so you can run many iterations in parallel.
Hi David,
SyncroSim cloud is currently a sharing/collaboration and dashboarding tool for SyncroSim libraries. It does not yet include the ability for running scenarios on the cloud. However, we are actively working on developing that functionality with the goal in mind that eventually SyncroSim cloud users will be able to publish to the cloud and run selected scenarios using configurable compute resources. Stay tuned for future updates on this feature.
Regards,
Leonardo
