I can only guess about applications since this is pretty new, and only a proof of concept. I doubt anyone has had a chance to consider this for any production solution. However, I think the possibilities could be pretty compelling for any distributed computing project that can be gpu accelerated. What if all you had to do to contribute to the seti at home project was to visit a webpage. No client to install. If the algorithm is sufficiently implementable on the GPU there would be little or no overhead compared to a C/C++ solution. Historically javascript has been focused on user interfaces, but perhaps it has been overlooked as a distributed computing platform.
