...What does Trapo do? - Stores: size, manufacturer, location, parts, replacement history, etc. - Orders traps and asbestos abatement near traps; fully supports a competitive-bid environment. - Calculates: Optimum test intervals, test samples, costs of various strategies (the Steam$$ module and separate program), and anything else we found useful. - Pays attention to simple facts: A trap doesn't leak steam if none is fed to it due to a thermostat, summer, etc. A trap usually doesn't fail all at once, it deteriorates gradually and different test methods detect the leak at different levels...

...It is also able to optimize the use of spot instances - idle computers in Amazon's cloud that are available at drastically reduced cost (5x-10x cheaper) - but can be terminated at any moment if capacity drops or the bid price rises. It also provides pre-installed features such as GlusterFS distributed filesystems, ThunderstormDistributor queuing system, RAID 0 /scratch, password-less ssh, and automatic cluster management, for ease of use and maximum processing speed for computational tools. Originally it was developed as a different version for the Wall Lab at Harvard CBMI.

This project provides a simulator for measuring execution time and total monetary costs on the Amazon EC2's spot instances.
