<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I have recently started looking at AWS for our parallel/distributed processing needs and came across Starcluster and would very much like to use it. However, we are a Windows shop and do our processing on Windows machines.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've installed Starcluster on Win 7 and have run the demo smoothly.</div><div><br></div><div>The big question now - is it feasible to create a Windows AMI that Starcluster can use and build a cluster with? And if so, what does the Windows AMI need? I've gotten as far as creating a Windows instance with passwordless SSH server and the "root" user and I can get SC to connect to it. My understanding is that I now have to configure Sun Grid Engine queuing system (open-source edition), the network file system, and OpenMPI. Anything else?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it doable? </div><div><br></div><div>Giovanni</div></div>
