CC hosts around 100 low-end SL machines. Since they are conected to the common NTFS server, it is easy to setup distributed compute on the shared memory and several machines.
Distributed Computing with CPU
** POST UNDER CONSTRUCTION **
If your task can be parallelized on CPUs, you should consider this. You may create an ssh cluster with the sl2 lab machines. Hostnames of sl2 machines are sl2-<num>.cse.iitb.ac.in e.g. sl2-58.cse.iitb.ac.in where num spans the range [1-110] almost wholly.
Here is a script to check which machines are switched on:

Here is sample script to execute jobs on these machines:
