This is fairly specialised information, you might try here:

http://www.scipy.org/scipylib/mailing-lists.html

sympy includes a simple ODE solver:

That will surely depend on what cloud computing servers you have access 
to, and what capabilities they offer. If you have full, unrestricted 
access to a server, then you can do anything you want. If you don't, 
then you'll need to find out what access you actually do have.
