Any guesses of how much this would cost to do on EC2?

Roughly $43000, using spot-instances. Back of the envelope... From the link, it would take 1.1 billion seconds @ 4x 2.8ghz = 4.4 billion @ 2.8 Ghz = 12.32 billion seconds @ 1 Ghz = ~3430000 hours Using ec2 unit performance as 1Ghz, assume computing is comparable, Ghz for Ghz (it isn't...), and storage and xfer is negligible.

With some handwaving it could be about $82.5K (computation spread over 1 year) or $125K (computation done in 1 month). total cost was 35 CPU years (Intel Nehalem, 4-core, 2.8GHz) 1 EC2 compute unit is about 1 GHz Xeon let's assume 1 Google unit = 12 EC2 units (3x4 cores) High-CPU Extra Large instance = 20 EC2 units 35*12 = 420 EC2 unit years = 5040 EC2 unit months = 21 HiCPU XL instances for 1 year = 252 HiCPU XL instances for 1 month Putting this into AWS calculator [1] yields: $82,491.36 (21 HiCPU XL reserved instances for 1 year) $125,435.52 (252 HiCPU XL on-demand instances for 1 month) [1] http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html ------ Edit: It could be actually a bit more, Nehalems seem to be faster than my first estimate. Plugging in EC2 computing unit comparison from Cluster Compute instance (which has 2x quadcore Nehalem), 1 Google unit can be 16.75 EC2 units. This gives: $114K for 1 year of 29 reserved HiCPU XL instances $166K for 1 year of 18 reserved cluster compute instances $173K for 1 month of 348 on-demand HiCPU XL instances $246K for 1 month of 210 on-demand cluster compute instances ----- Edit2: Dedicated server hosting would be much cheaper. For example, from Hetzner [2] it would cost just about 26K EUR (= $34K) to rent 35 dedicated quadcore Nehalem servers for 1 year.
