MATSim over AWS/Azure

Open ssilveram opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi!

Due to the high requirements of RAM I'm thinkin in create an instance on AWS/Azure to run my final project in MATSim. It's possible to run MATSim in a Linux/Windows instance on AWS? Any experience about it?

Thanks a lot!

It certainly should be possible to run MATSim on an AWS instance. I know that @mrieser provides this as a service. I don't have personal experience running such a workload in the cloud, but would be interested in your experience once you have done it. Maybe you could share it here? I would be especially interested in which AWS-Services you ended up using.

We run most of our large-scale simulations using AWS EC2. Typically we us r5.8xlarge instances and copy what we need for a simulation from an S3 bucket.

If you have just a couple of simulations, then one could easily set this all up by hand and freeze the instance while not in use.
