You can create an EC2 instance, install your tools on it. Create an AMI &
configure a Auto-scaling group referencing the AMI.
When you set auto-scaling to 3 instances with any type say g2.2xlarge (GPU
instance) type it will automatically launch 3 instances with the same
programs installed & settings that were in the EC2 instance from which the
AMI was made.
Log into the instances using RDP (Windows) / SSH (Linux), to start the tool
on varied length or whatever the criteria is. You will have to login
remotely to check if they have completed. I am not sure if the tool has any
way to inform you when it has found the combination.
You will be charged hourly for the number of instances running.
For e.g. you run 3 instances of g2.2xlarge (8 virtual cpu, 15 gb ram, 26
ecu) for 10 hours, your cost will be 0.65 x 3 x 10 = 19.50 USD.
For benchmarks you can refer
http://blog.nullmode.com/blog/2015/03/22/36-core-aws-john/
AMI - Amazon Machine Image, a snapshot of the EBS (elastic block store -
disk) volume is created & used to boot up instances.
ECU - 1 ECU = 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Xeon,
