The new 64 bit images have code for few performance benchmarks built in, including HPL. I ran a few latency tests along with the NAS suite, but haven't run HPL on EC2 yet. The source should be in /home/beowulf/hpl if you want to try it out... Here are some sample NAS and latency numbers for a two node (16 core) cluster: http://www.datawrangling.com/media/BPS-AmazonEC2-xlarge-run-1/index.html -Pete Kurt,
