I have Mathematica installed on my MacBook. I also have access to a remote Linux server with many more nodes and virtually unlimited disk space and memory and Mathematica installed. I can in principle ssh -X to it and run Mathematica. For the purposes of the question, I don't want to copy everything to the remote machine, and work there.
What I need to do is to run a single function evaluation F[x,y,z], which is very computationally heavy, on the remote machine because the remote machine is much more powerful, can run more nodes in parallel, etc.
I guess what I could do in principle is to dump x, y, z, and the definition of F to a *.mx file, scp it to the server, ssh to it, load Mathematica, load the file, run it, dump the output to a file, scp the file with the output back, and load the file with the output at the local machine.
Is there a way to automate it? Or is there a much better way to do what I want? I would like to have an option of evaluating EvaluateRemotely[F,x,y,z] or something like that. It is fine if I need to manually type login/password for the remote machine but not more than that. TIA
