We are preparing a release of Dynamo for the EC2 cloud computing service. This will allow users without access to a graphic accelerator to use Dynamo on a powerful GPU in the cloud, paying only for the actually used computing time, and avoid the purchase, installation and maintenance of special hardware.
The Dynamo AMI itself can be used free of charge and needs no additional license. It delivers a tested installation of all needed software (Dynamo, CUDA, MCR libraries), ready for immediate use upon connection to your account.
Feel free to contact us if you want to be a beta tester.

Creating an account
We will post here a walkthrough for the creation of an user account in the Amazon EC2.
Configuring an instance
You instance will be built on the top of a CUDA7.5 for Ubuntu instance. You can find it in the Amazon Marketplace.
Launching an instance
Connecting to the instance
Once your instance is running, you can connect to it through an ssh terminal. Typically, you need to include the key file generated in the moment of launching the instance.
chmod 400 keyP2.pem
Running Dynamo projects
We will post here a walkthrough for the use of your account.
Copying Dynamo
In your local machine:
scp -i "keyFile.pem" <your Dynamo tar> <your amazon instance>:/home/ubuntu/
Setting the terminal
Then, you can ssh to your EC2 terminal. There, you still need to operate a couple of adjustments:
mkdir dynamo
tar -xf <Dynamo tar file> -C /home/ubuntu/dynamo
You need to make an extra couple of adjustments on your terminal.
