Saw this the other day and now I see they have opened up the beta. I dont have enough spare time to do it myself but figured people here might.
HP Cloud Services SMP client setup
and not sure but in order to sign up you might have to look at this: Link

For those that want a skinny on whats in those links,
Basically good old HPCS is in a beta stage and are letting people use there cloud servers for free. If you sign up you get something like 20 cores, 32+ gigs of ram, and about 1T of storage. People over at E have been getting around 20k ppd. Not bad for a free set up! Unfortunately from what I have read you cant run bigadv due to the fact you have to set up two separate 8 cores and one 4 core or something.

Anyways maybe give them a thank you for setting up the guide if you give er a try!

It says he can only invite 5 friends to the private beta. I'm guessing he'll choose 5 EVGA friends. Would be cool though.

Ah, I didnt look that close. There may still be a way to get signed up though if people are interested.

You can still sign up, but you will get an email that says this:

"Thanks for your interest in the HP Cloud Services private beta and for completing the sign-up. The response to our private beta has been great. We'll keep you informed as beta access becomes available"

So if you are interested in doing the beta, go ahead and sign up and just wait and see what happens.

I still think we should create a computer virus that is intended towards large computing military facilities in China to do our bidding for folding... probably a more realistic goal than being accepted into HP's Cloud Services beta... lol

I signed up:

Due to the high demand of the HP Cloud Services private beta we are pleased to announce that we will be expanding the private beta program to select individuals and companies.

We are very pleased to invite you to the private beta program which includes FREE, limited time access to HP Cloud Services.

Your help in testing and providing feedback of our initial offering of HP Cloud Compute and HP Cloud Object Storage would be greatly appreciated.

Please be aware that we are asking all Private Beta participants to:

1. We request you limit your HP Cloud Compute usage to 5 instances.

2. Limit HP Cloud Object Storage usage to 2TB of total data across the account.

3. Only use this beta for testing purposes. No production workloads should be hosted on the system at this time.

I suppose i should go check it out and see what its all about. Any veteran forum members that want to check it out can PM me for login info.

since we are talking about the cloud, anyone try out Amazon's EC2 computing service to do WU on their boxes?

I remember seeing a thread somewhere about it on a different forum. It wasnt worth the money from what I remembered.

Well...this is all linux server stuff. Anyone wanna get in and setup folding?

I signed up. I'm going to try setting up tonight. I saw how to sign up on another forum. On the sign up page, where it asks for your twitter name, put '@hpcloud'. Fill out the rest as normal. You will get a thanks email, then a "you're in" email a few hours later

I got my invite earlier today. I am going to try and get it set up on Saturday.

I got the invitation as well. I will play with it later in the week.

...followed the instruction on this thread and I'm up and running.... Hopefully I start seeing a PPD boost!

now i'm just looking for a fah monitor suitable for HPCloud.

HFM should work. Setup can be found on the competition's sites (EVGA, Overclock.net, [H] forum, etc.).

just finished setting up folding on the HPCS. I used this:
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=1420042

so far so good. Seems to have worked with no problems. I'll be checking my stats in a while. maybe I'll be able to setup HFM. I'll give it a shot, but here's the link to my stats:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ ... =&u=451193

Currently, my 24 hour avg is around 42k PPD, so we'll see what I get up to with folding in the cloud. From what I've seen it should be up to somewhere around 100k+ (an addition of 60k PPD or so).

Here's my personal page for looking at my running instances:

The HFM stats will appear with the i7 stats if I can get them working right.

If the monitor is accurate, that's about a 32K PPD boost. Nice!

It's nice HP is letting others get in on the cloud points action, even for a while. And as always, the more WUs getting done, the better!

Good job all

This is one cloud you wont be able to hide behind. I will be coming....

Now that HP is sharing the resources, they've dropped off our six:
