[Haskell-cafe] haskell in the cloud

[Dennis Raddle]

I have a CPU-intensive Haskell application. I have it working with simple
multi-core concurrency. I'm wondering if I can run this on a cloud virtual
machine with 128 cores or so, paying by the CPU minute. I'll run it for
maybe 15 minutes a day so I'm probably best off paying just for the CPU
used.

What platform would be recommended? For ease of use? For best
price/performance?

It's a backtracking optimization algorithm that builds data, one element at
a time. It's not hard at all to make it concurrent: at the first 3 or so
levels of element choices would be about 100 to 500 combinations. Even if
the simplest method of running concurrent Haskell on multiple cores doesn't
work, I could just divide these first cases into batches and run them on
individual machines.
