Starting up clusters from IJulia dashboard #210

Open jakebolewski opened 9 years ago

Does this work?

An additional question, is there any documentation as to what EC2 instance the IJulia notebook is running on? If I add additional processors is that just adding them to a single process VM instance?

ViralBShah commented 9 years ago

Each instance gets 8 processors, which are actually shared with a few other users right now. So, you are getting 8 physical but shared processors.

I believe if @tanmaykm gives you the admin panel access, you could see some of this, but it is not meant to be user facing at the moment.

I don't think the clusters stuff works. Its just there. We should very shortly have the ability to spawn an EC2 cluster (using say spot instances) though, since all building blocks are in place.

A note (even if fine print) as to what type of instances JuliaBox is running on would be great.

At the moment we use AWS r3.4xlarge instances with each user container restricted to 8 cores and 6GB RAM.
