On Amazon AWS EC2, spot instances (and preemptible VMS on GC) permit use of powerful machines for short periods of time. Many octave computations run much faster on multicore machines.  In addition, embarrassing parallelism can be easily exploited using octave packages such as parallel.

Because of network latency over the internet, user interaction that relies on sub milli-second response latency of a desktop does not work well. This requires some changes to the standard desktop user interaction model, relying more on the faster local client response.  Jupyter notebook is an example of such an interface.
