Btw, in most cases the last point does not apply. Compute Engine 
has a 16core/104GB option and I would be surprised if Azure and 
Amazon doesn't have a similar offer. You pay for at least 10 
minutes and after that per minute at 0.8-1.2 USD/hour. So if the 
computation has to run for 30 minutes on 30 instances (Approx. 
the cpu power of 480 sandy bridge cores and 3 TB RAM) it will 
cost you ~18USD.
