Greetings Ladies and gentlemen, There is one alternative approach and this a psuedo-cloud based MPI. The idea is that MPI node list is adjusted via the cloud similar to the way Xgrid's Bonjour used to do it for Xgrid.
In this case, it is applying an MPI notion to the OpenCL codelets. There are obvious issues with security, battery life, etc. There is considerable room for discussion as far expectations. Do jobs run free if the device is plugged in? If the device in the pocket, can the user switch to power conservation/ cooler pockets? What constitutes fairness? Do owners have a right to be biased in judgement? These are tough questions that I think I will have to provide fair assurances for. After all, everyone likes to think they are control of what they put in their pocket.
