Is there an online remote server that I can run my code on?

Hi, I have a GA code that takes a long time to converge (4-5 days). I want to know if there is an online remote server that I can run my code on?

Yes, there are several (paid) options.

Thank you so much. Is there any free one as well?

If you have an appropriate account type and are current on your service contracts, then you can use MATLAB Online.

However, MATLAB Online times you out after about 15 minutes of no keyboard action, so you would have to have someone/something jiggle the mouse ever 10 minutes or so for 4-5 days.

Also, MATLAB Online is not an especially fast system. The hardware information listed is confusing as to whether you get 8 or 16 cores, and what speed they are.

Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8259CL CPU @ 2.50GHz

CPU MHz: 3099.277

2.5 overclocked to 3.1 ? 2.5 with 3.1 as the turbo mode?

A couple of months ago, I used bench to benchmark MATLAB Online. The results were fairly close to what I got on my 2013 iMac, 4 i7 @ 3.5 GHz.

MATLAB Online is not intended to be a fast workhorse.

Thank you so much for the information.

Not directly related to MATLAB Online, however you might be interested in How to save data from Genetic Algorithm in case MATLAB crashes?

Thank you so much. This is also my case as sometimes the power goes out when the code has been running for 3 days!!

My pleasure!
