Dear All,

I have a simulation program in R, which I run it in my laptop.
To produce 1 result, it took about 7 hours and I need about 50, 100, and 500 results.
(I use Mac OS, Macbook Pro. Hardware specs are 2.9 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 Processor and RAM: 8GB.)

Then I tried to learn and use Cloud Computing, which was ended up with the Bioconductor Cloud AMI.

I took the High-Memory Quadruple Extra Large Instance, API name: m2.4xlarge.
With the hope that it will make it faster in producing the results.

What happened was the amazon cloud computing produced the result longer than my laptop.
It took about 8 hours for 1 result.

I am really new to the cloud computing.
Could you help me to find out, what my mistake was in using/setting the cloud computing, therefore, the result was produce longer than my laptop?
What should I do to make it faster, please?

For your attention and kindness, thank you very much in advance.
Happy New Year 2013.

With kind regards,
R Fajriyah
