Scilab/Octave in the cloud (parallel processing)

Is it possible to launch Scilab/Octave (or any other free numerical computational software) on multiple instances and start parallel processing? I have seen that it is possible with Matlab, but it's commercial software.

I planned to deploy Scilab/Octave into Openstack instances.

Is there any other software that you could recommend?

You can give Julia a try. It supports message passing parallelism: http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/parallel-computing/

You run it with the -p flag to indicate how many processes you want to use in the cluster:

julia -p nprocs main.jl

The language is quite new though, you won't always find documentation.
