Running a Genetic Algorithm on an Amazon EC2 Cluster

I've started working on a simple tool to run genetic algorithms on a Linux cluster. I'm using MIT's StarCluster utility to create an on-demand Linux cluster on Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service. Using this as a starting point it should be pretty easy to deploy as much computing power as I want (budget permitting).

Step one was Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com/) sign up. I already had a normal Amazon account,...

This could clobber any modifications you may have made to the templates, so back up what you have if you 'mc2 save'ed to any of the same filenames.

• Corrected CFLAGS for -fPIC in dyn-32 template
• Removed redundant 'update' target in same.

There are a few more tweeks to be done in the mc2 templates but they are very low priority at this...

by default.

Then it wants to know the year. So it knows the day of the week, hour, minute, and year. Why does it want to know the year? I mean, if it knew the date and month, then it could do useful things like adjusting for daylight savings time. But as it is, it...
