grid cloud computing
Has anyone looked at putting a few rc5 clients up in the cloud of amazon's EC2 or gogrid? I haven't done it yet, but with the cost of the electricity here and my 24x7 100 % CPUs, I was wondering if anyone has looked at it seriously. Based on a cursory glance, it looks like one would pay about 20 cents per cpu hour and if its dedicated, would that be about $12 USdollars a day? That's way more than I am paying for electricity here.....but am I doing the math right? It doesn't appear I could economically efficiently make use of the cloud to replace my key rate.
