I find the concept intriguing. Of course, it lend itself most well to processes which are both not security-conscious, nor data-centric. Or perhaps where data is as readily accessible to all participants.

For instance an algorithm that was sorting large sets of data, where the data is accessible from a regular web-service. That web service can be consumed from both client (There are several WSDL client implementations in JavaScript) and server.

What is most interesting is that you can be very near an implementation, if you restrict yourself to just JavScript initially, since Aptana released their Jaxer server.

I’ll keep my eyes on this and the best of luck onwards

One word. Optimisation.

If I run a Blender standard scene on my (yes yes) Origin 2000 16P running IRIX, it takes around 18 seconds. On the Macbook Pro – 53 seconds.

If I run the same scene in angry mode i.e. multi-threading enabled, NUMA-aware etc. basically set up specifically for a MIPS super-duper-compuder, around .4 of a second.

Probably the only quote I took away from Uni that has proved itself true time and time again.
