Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on running code online from a distant server using cloud services, specifically Microsoft Azure. The user seeks to execute a heavy program that currently takes 40-50 minutes on their local machine. They mention alternatives like university supercomputing facilities and historical computing services, while highlighting major cloud providers such as AWS and Google Cloud. The user specifically requests guidance on running a GitHub repository, "ja-vazquez/SimpleMC," on Azure to execute a Python script named test.py.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cloud computing concepts, specifically Microsoft Azure.
  • Familiarity with GitHub repositories and version control.
  • Basic knowledge of Python programming and script execution.
  • Experience with uploading files to cloud platforms.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to deploy a GitHub repository on Microsoft Azure.
  • Learn about Azure's App Service for running Python applications.
  • Explore Azure's documentation on file uploads and execution of scripts.
  • Investigate AWS Lambda for serverless execution of Python code.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for software developers, data scientists, and researchers looking to leverage cloud computing resources for running computationally intensive tasks remotely.

I am trying to run a code from my computer but its qualities are kind of low. I am trying to run a heavy program and its taking about 40-50 min to solve it. Is there a some sort of a general program where I can upload some files and run the code online from a distant server ? Is there a such thing ?

Some universities provide supercomputing facilities where you can apply for an account and then load your stuff up and do your runs.

However, it may mean that you have to have some established funding to do it or be a student at the university.

There used to be computing services like Compuserve and GEISCO where you could buy time on their computer to run your stuff. However, that model of computing dropped off as PCs became the favored computing platform.

Google has cloud services:

There are many options for this, the biggest(?) commercial service provider is AWS (Amazon Web Services) but you can also do similar things via e.g. Microsoft Azure.

Just google AWS cloud computing.
