Why don't you use the free trial to see what it can do? Google sez you get $300 towards a 60 day free trial. And the Compute Engine at here says they have Linux VM's.

With the 60 day free trial, you get access to dual core cpus. 31 hours to complete one WU of Primegrid (cpuPPSsieve) - 2600 credits/24 hours. This on a 2012 Windows server VM. No access to GPUs, so not impressive performance. On the other hand, you can install multiple VMs - don't know the limit. Terms of Service did not prohibit 100% continous CPU load, as far as I could see. ID: 1657627 ·
