Matlab, Mathematica in the cloud
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.
Hi Hans – while the articles you link to are interesting, they still require that companies and individuals spend a decent amount of time managing their own servers. We have a better idea – one more in keeping with the current world of the cloud

We just launched Monkey Analytics which provides a modern web interface on top of back end computation engines – one of which is MATLAB compatible GNU Octave. This web app lives in the cloud, and scales to meet subscriber demand on Amazon EC2.
We’d love to know what you think, and strongly believe this delivers value above and beyond simply buying new MATLAB licenses and then fiddling about with Amazon when all you want is to do some hardcore scientific computing

Hi. I looked up “matlab in the cloud” to see what was on google. I used Matlab heavily in 2005 and also for a few months in 2010. (Student edition).
I have been wiped out by computer problems. I am too disorganised to keep copies of files on flash memory.
So maybe computing in the cloud is something to look forward to. Hopefully I won’t need to worry about installing Matlab + toolboxes at all.
Best wishes
