Cloud Modeling Plans and Priorities

[zadelman]

• What are the plans and priorities for cloud computing in your organization?
• What would be most helpful for this workgroup to do to support you or your organization with modeling in the cloud?

We built CAMx on AWS and are planning to build CMAQ on AWS in the near future, we plan to run multiple grid sizes 36km COUNS, 12 WUS/EUS, and 4km for the target areas.

• does the group or EPA plan to upload IWDW data to AWS?
• A general step by step github readme file to go through how to build or share libraries/SMOKE/CMAQ on AWS would be very helpful.
• One of my colleagues would like to ask how to set up AWS parallelcluster.
• It would be very helpful, if we can have information (eg. a table) of the cost for running default CMAQ/CAMx using 12 km data from IWDW.

Thanks
