Hi Nick. We see lots of potential in both, really: we’re excited by the possibilities for speeding up massive calculations on the desktop as well as for bringing types of operations to web browsers and mobile devices that would have previously fallen outside of people’s performance expectations. Thanks for your interest!

Do you see this type of technique being most useful to the desktop GIS environment or migrating server side computation to an array of video cards/cluster of PS3s?
