Not sure this has the utility that its creators envision. You're effectively putting the "CPU" on a REST interface and shuffling data across a very long bus to have it operated upon. What kinds of algorithms is this even good for? Cryptographic algorithms are right out. The image on the page says "Dijkstra's shortest path planning algorithm" - I don't think that's a candidate. Results for pure functions can just be cached ... The only possible beneficial (and profitable?) use I can imagine is to gather statistics on algorithm performance with real-world data provided by developers from around the 'tubes.
