Instead of offloading batch computations to a proprietary cloud, it’s better to actually optimize the incredibly slow and unstable computational kernel.

In any case that’s not the happy path, Mathematica gets stuck in symbolic computations for ages. My FFT-based research in Mathematica slowed to a crawl, tens of minutes of waiting, even with 90% of the code compiled to binary. MATLAB finishes this task in milliseconds.
