Using SuanShu on Amazon EC2

Cloud computing is very popular nowadays. Delegating your CPU-intensive computation (or simulation) to the cloud seems to be a smart choice. Many of our users asked if SuanShu can be run on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), because SuanShu license requires a MAC address and they have no control on which machine being used when they launch an EC2 instance. Here comes a good news! Amazon Web Service (AWS) now supports Elastic Network Interface (ENI), by which you can bind your EC2 instance to a specified network interface. Therefore, you can license your SuanShu against the MAC address of the ENI, and launch an instance with the same ENI and MAC address. For details, please visit the blog here. User guide for ENI can also be found here.
