What is the computation Power of Matlab Online?

My laptop is quite old (i3, 4gb) and I've been running a code for more than 21 hours and I'm starting to worry how much longer it will take, I have access to Matlab Online but It's also taking ages, I was wondering if it might actually be faster than my laptop because I couldn't find any documentation on the processing power they give you access to.

You can run a shorter test function and compare the timings between Matlab Online and your laptop.

Perhaps it is worth to determine the bottleneck of your code using the profiler and posting it here. Maybe you forgot a pre-allocation only, or there is a loop, which can be vectorized. The problem might not match into your RAM and the slow hard disk is used for virtual memory. Without knowing any details, it is hard to predict, if the online machine is faster.

thanks for your reply @Jan Simon, I've been trying to find a way to vectorise my code but I don't think I have enough experience to figure it out, I made a new question to see If I can get some help, I know there's also the parallel computing toolbox but I don't know in which situations this can be used. https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/352170-help-vectorizing-for-loops-for-faster-execution-of-uncertainty-of-natural-frequency-response-due-to
