I am looking for a cloud based system to run some R code on that takes about a week to run on my machine. Could anyone suggest one that is reasonably priced please?
Most of the big cloud service providers will be able to provide a suitable offering, but the most important thing you need to check first is whether the code you intend to use is written as multi-threaded. If not, it will still take about a week to run, but cost you quite a chunk of money.
I think google offers great R Studio server on a VM (Virtual Machine) with Compute Engine, here is a more detailed explanation http://markedmondson.me/run-r-rstudio-and-opencpu-on-google-compute-engine-free-vm-image. I have been using R codes on cloud services for years (mostly for AI related-work), feel free to msg me if I can help.
