Hello, I'm starting to use moses and I'm going through the documentation. The how-to is quite clear and I was able to setup a test machine for the Experiment but now I'd like to have some advice. Our plan is to start an intensive test of a lot of public and private corpora we already have for learning what's the best result/configuration for our needs. Here is my question: we have different options to install our test bench and I don't know which one is the better one...
1) A openstack private cloud: here I can instantiate many VM (up to 10). Each VM could get 8GB and 4 vCPU 2) A commercial cloud (not S3) where I guess I can instantiate more powerfull VM (probably I can go up to 8-16 vCPU and an unlimited memory... not sure yet how much) but here I have to pay for what I use In both case I can (if it's useful) install SGE but reading few threads in the mailing list I'm not sure it's worth the effort. So what's your suggestion? Do I invest some time in installing and setup the SGE in the cloud or it's better to stick with a single powerful machine? In the Moses FAQ I read "takes 1-2 days to tune using 15 CPUs. 10-15 iterations are typical"... is this the amount of resources needed? If I can shorten the test phase I can also to consider to get more resources but I don't have any feeling... Suggestion and/or comments are very welcome!
