Chuan,
Responding to your other question concerning GSL and gotoBLAS:
Installing these locally into a EBS volume is a perfectly reasonable
solution. In fact, this is how I envisioned most people storing their
software/data on StarCluster.
The other way to do this is to launch an instance, install the software
globally (using apt-get and/or source packages), and then rebundle the
AMI. You could then tell starcluster to use this new AMI in your config
file.
I will add GSL to the next version of StarCluster's AMI. goto blas must
be custom compiled. I'll have a look at this and if it's not too much
work I'll consider adding it in.
Hope that helps,
~Justin
