DSKernel: AI and Strength Training

Innovation is often observed when more stuff is produced from less resources. Incentives to invest in innovation are mostly to save money so that money can work on another part of the pipeline or process. One extraordinary pathway to get there is to start from something else -- to scratch another person's back instead of starting from scratch. In some fields, starting from existing work is easy and not cumbersome while in a sizable number of situations, it is hardly the case. In the software industry, source codes are the basic unit of stuff you can build upon or share with other peers. On one end, one can argue that there are public domain products, whose blueprints are not protected by anything whatsoever. That kind of creative process can be appealing because nothing restricts the flow of intellectual property and therefore the exchange rate is very high. However, because there is simply no copy protection, authors will not often select this course of actions. In the middle, fr...

In this tutorial, I will show how to run Ray (v2.0.0-rc7) on 4 Amazon EC2 small instances (m1.small). Tests with micro instances showed that it does not work for high performance computing. The virtual core of a micro instance works at 5% sometimes, and it does not work at all most of the time. That is why it is free ! For a list of instance types, see this page. Each small instance will provide 1 virtual core with 1 Elastic Cloud Unit and 1.7 GB memory. We will run Ray on 4 instances with message passing in the cloud. A small instance cost 0.080 $ per hour (on-demand pricing). So this tutorial should cost me 0.32 $ for the small instances and maybe some more for the Elastic Block Storage although I think this is free at some point. You can also pay upfront for a term of 1 year or 3 years to have a  lower pricing . Tasks to do on the Amazon Web Services Console First, I spawned 4 m1.small instances in the same zone with Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits. When creating y...
