HPC in native code on Azure

Hello! I have a problem in understanding what Azure technologies (tools) can help me to do my work. I would be very happy if someone could consult me. 

The task at hand: 

I have sime computational (simulation) problem to solve. It takes some input and then I want tot be able to collect its output. It isn't even written yet, so input form may be chosen later, depends on what will be the best solution. The thing is, that in itself this task is purely sequential, at least it does not use any multithreading / MPI etc. explicitly. And my goal is to run it multiple times with random (with carefully chosen RNGs and distributions) input, then gather output of every solution and then I will take care of results somehow. Of course - the more spawns with different inputs - the better. 

The last detail - code should be native, not managed.  And the time taken by every independent simulation can vary, because it will run simulation until certain event occurs, so each time it can be from seconds to minutes (so good scheduling would be great).

I'm considering different approaches, but really can't yet figure out what particular cloud based technique I could use. 

Any comments, questions and help will be much appreciated.
