This is what I was thinking as I played with it last night. I'm definitely going to use it for that. And if I can get away with it, I'm going to try doing some unclever implementations of semi-supervised ML, maybe a few matrix calculations, and see what I can get away with before they kick me off their grid :-) It occurred to me that, since no one is paying me to optimize the usual tight loops that crop up, or write a C extension to speed them up, I can try just running a shit load of them in parallel and storing the results in their ObjectStore. Now I just need to randomize the ''request'' IP blocks and we're all set for the billion or so simulations that my officemate wants to run.
