Or you could think of it as taking a compute-intensive problem and distributing it widely.
Or taking a bandwidth-bound problem and completely eliminating that bottleneck.
If you've got 1000 people converting videos at once, the embarrassingly parallel isn't going to help you much on the server.
This does look like fun, and really a nice validation for emscripten, and there's a ton of practical application.
- Osmium 13y agoTrue; this seems a bit silly at first glance, but imagine how much money a YouTube-like site could save if videos were converted in the user's browser before upload, rather than by the server.
- mtrimpe 13y agoIt's also an excellent new benchmark for JavaScript VMs. If we can get near-native performance on this it'll enable a whole new class of application.
