Updated CMIPS V1.0.3 Stats with Cluster Amazon Instances

Update: Article updated and more data provided here.

I update the results, adding newly introduced Amazon Cluster instances on January 2013:

  • Compute Optimized CC2 Cluster 8xlarge  – cc2.8xlarge – Available in US East (North Virginia) – with 88 ECUS (Amazon computing unit) and 16 cores (but 32 cores detected by htop), 60 GB RAM, featuring an amazing 16,608 CMIPS and taking 60.21 seconds to complete the tests
  • Memory Optimized CR1 Cluster 8xlarge – cr1.8xlarge – with 88 ECUS also (32 cores shown by htop), 244 GB RAM, and featuring 16,468 CMIPS despite having the same CPU Intel Xeon E5-2670 at 2.6 Ghz, taking 60,721 seconds, and equipped with “local” SSD disks. I’m taking complete tests on disk performance that will be added soon

Stats have been updated to show (public today) price per hour and per month of the instances.
