Serious horsepower is a latency issue these days. Anything that takes a lot more time to process than the round trip time, might be worth running on the cloud.

Serious horsepower is a latency issue these days.
Anything that takes a lot more time to process than the round trip time, might be worth running on the cloud. CAD operations, for instance are very optimisable this way by having a local and remote version of a function such as a 3DBoolean, where easy operations are run locally and more complex ones leverage the network and run quicker than they would natively on the host machine.
- overgard 14y agoThere are a lot of calculations where 100ms latency isn't acceptable. "the cloud" can't really replace having fast local processing power.
- ktizo 14y agoNo, but it can remove a lot of load, which gives more horses for the realtime stuff. And when you factor in webGL, for shifting load to the graphics hardware, then there is a hell of a lot that can be done in the browser.
