I was just looking at Matlab and Mathematica on the Amazon cloud. Along with all the grid activity in the Amazon cloud, we can now farm out our parallel data processing tasks from analysis packages. I expect a guide to parallel R in the cloud soon. And as usual, SAS will follow along in another 5 years.
