I have an app that is currently in c# and that I am considering porting to java and putting on the app engine. Before I go any further, though, I have a couple of questions on performance and the types of apps that are right for this service. My app is VERY computationally intensive. We're talking simulation, genetic algorithms, monte carlo analysis, etc. In our desktop version on a good dual core machine, some of these can run for minutes. However, there is an application for moving this to the cloud, but the only way to do that is if a request can spread processes over many threads or distribute the workload to other machines. I have read that you can't create threads, so are there any alternatives, or is this just not the right type of app to consider putting out there using this service? Maybe having the code running on some grid-like service and invoking it from the app on app engine?
Looking for any thoughts or words of wisdom from anyone who has faced this type of scenario or investigated it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
