Where to rent computing power for one task?

Question

Programming

Hello, those who know, tell me
There is an algorithm that is written in C ++, for its execution on one 1.84GHz core it takes, say, two weeks. The result is needed faster.
Is it possible to place a program for execution on a powerful server and get the result of the program?
What difficulties can arise and what is the cost?

Answer 1

Take a look at Amazon EC2. For example, their GPU cluster has two Intel Xeon X5570 3.00GHz processors, each containing 8 cores. Cost per rental hour: $2.10 for Linux, $2.60 for Windows.
They have a CPU cluster. According to assurances, there should be 2 times more CPU.

Answer 2

look at the demo trials of Microsoft Azure - there, in my opinion, 30 days are free and maybe you have enough power

Answer 3

The complexity may be in the parallelization of the calculation, if this task is not initially solved. Finding a server with a powerful single core will be more problematic than a cluster or just a multi-core one.
