Matlab, parallel computing and Amazon EC2

I'm completely new to Amazon EC2. I have read the website documentation but I'm still confused.

At the moment I'm estimating my model using Matlab-r2014b. In my Matlab code I use parallel computing ("parfor") on the local cluster. I run my model through the HPC of my University which allows me to access 1 node with 40GB of memory and 12 cores.

My questions are the following:

(1) Does Amazon EC2 offer a machine with more than 40GB of memory and 12 cores where I can run my Matlab code?

(2) Prices and instructions?

Short answer, yes, the c3.8xlarge instance type is available with 60GB of ram and 32 cores.

Per hour pricing is available here: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ along with all the other sizes and options.
