I realize the title may be a little provocative but here is what I am looking for.<p>Let us imagine I have a complex python/basic/lisp/fortran/matlab program that can take two inputs and produce the result of an algorithm implemented in that complex program.<p>How do I go about setting up a service on the cloud where the program can be run by others and billed to me ?<p>Is there a basic tutorial somewhere on this topic ?<p>Thanks in advance,<p>Igor.
Maybe something using Amazons MapReduce and DevPay or FlexiblePayments?<p>I wouldnt know how to set up what you want but maybe you can find something in their forums.<p>BTW: I've used their EC2 and S3 services and I'm very happy so far.
Someone should do this for render farms. We'd see more brilliant home-grown sci-fi film making like this:<p><a href="http://www.starwreck.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.starwreck.com/</a><p>They had a 3 PC render farm running two years to make the film. Most of the interior shots were green-screened with digital backgrounds, and they look gorgeous.<p>(Finding attractive actresses who will become the girlfriend and provide free acting to the film effort is still left up to the user.)
