Hi Moussa,
The current stable version of StarCluster doesn't support the new
cg1/cc1 instance types. The latest github code
(http://github.com/jtriley/StarCluster) does have support for these new
instance types. I recently created a new StarCluster HVM AMI for Cluster
Compute/GPU instance types that has the same software stack as the
paravirtual AMIs and also includes the NVIDIA Driver/CUDA
toolkit/PyCuda/PyOpenCL for GPU programming.
I haven't made the AMI public yet given that 0.91.2 doesn't support the
new types but if you want to test the latest github code with the new
HVM AMI, send me your AWS user id and I'll share the AMI with you. This
goes for anyone else interested in testing the new Cluster Compute/GPU
support as well.
