@Marteen that's fantastic. Space shouldn't be an issue. A 3 Tb hard-drive costs like 200$, we could plug a couple of those as a scratch space for the conference. We should certainly talk with Mike about his cluster. I'd also be curious to see if we could register these resources in CBRAIN. As I said, the number of pipelines are limited, but the graphical interface is much more appealing than the SSH sessions we'll be running otherwise. <div>
<br></div><div>@Cameron I don't have experience with cloud computing services like amazon. My understanding is that they are doing a great job at virtualization, like creating a box of all of your tools, so software installation would not be too much of an issue. But I also had the impression that the transfer speed would suck. If we use large datasets, it may actually be easier to use a small 24 cores server with a local hard drive that has all the data. The large resource I mentioned earlier has 2000 Tb of storage with infinyband, which means *fast* access. I'd be curious to have the opinion of someone who actually used these services for neuroimaging before trying to get free (or cheap) compute hours.<div>

If you want, I can email some people that I know (not very well) from<br>
college/Highschool at Amazon and google and see if I can find the<br>

Let me know and I'll send out emails on Monday.<br>
