Dear Users, Just a suggestion :How about there is some online portal where Mathematica license holders can make use of parallel computing facilities.For example , all of what I need to give you is my program input and the online Mathematica portal (which has large number of cores and threads ) does all the parallel computations (over large number of grids ) and gives me both the input and output in the form of a notebook.There could be check and balances so that this online facility is not misused.I think this would make large-scale computing much affordable. Parallel computing is very easy in C++ because it is very versatile and there are already parallel computing networks for it, for instance SHARCNET network in Canada.Since , Mathematica is my language of choice an online parallel computation network would give Mathematica a great advantage for large scale problems and make it much affordable for normal users . Many problems in finance , economics , physics etc which have research value are most often large scale.
