They probably spawn several python processes

  Indeed, seems like a single cloud.call will not give you any parallelism, you need many calls. So the whole parallelization challenge is left completely up to you. Still, this is a nice approach, and I'd like to see more companies in this space.

    Agreed, a very cool idea. I believe you are right on the parallelism front, cloud.call just offloads the processing on their servers, but you'd have to call it multiple times to get any parallelism.

      PiCloud dev here. That is correct. We also offer a mapping function, cloud.map(func, arg_list), where every func(arg_list[i]) will be evaluated in parallel.
