If you are doing a computationally intensive data mining problem, have you considered porting to a Hadoop solution? You may need to rewrite your code, or you may be able to use Hadoop to call your current functions. You could use an AWS Hadoop cluster; Amazon often gives free credits to students, it may cost you nothing out of pocket, and help you learn a hot new technology.
