Matlab has some optional distributed features. You can farm it out to an EC2 instance among other things.

Octave can do this too [1,2]. The 'parallel' package is quite easy to set up and integrate. 'mpi' doesn't work with new octave versions (yet?).

Even if you can find the money, I'm told by people who support Matlab on our systems that it isn't very effective and doesn't fit well with HPC resource management.
