based on that page, each Amazon High-CPU Extra Large Instance, running Ubuntu 12.04.1 and using pooler's cpuminer 2.2.3, has a script hash rate of 38 Khash/second. Rounding down ( habbit, no real math reason other than the real world is usually slower ) to 19 times that makes it an estimated 722  Khash/second and possibly faster.</p>

<p>High-CPU Extra Large Instance</p>

<p>7 GiB of memory</p>

<p>20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each)</p>

<p>1690 GB of instance storage</p>

<p>64-bit platform</p>

<p>I/O Performance: High</p>

<p>EBS-Optimized Available: 1000 Mbps</p>

<p>API name: c1.xlarge</p>

<p>Above is the specification for an Amazon EC2 instance, I was just wondering if there is any information on what the hash rate would be for litecoins on this Amazon EC2 instance.</p>

<p>Is there any calculations you can use to find out the hash rate from the GHz of a processor?
I know none f the other specs apart from the processor really matter but I'm just not sure what the GHz for the EC2 processor would be.</p>

so have you tried it by yourself? what is the result if you had?

You're wasting money on the I/O performance and storage.

Yeah, don't do this, it won't be worth it.
