Hello, As some may have heard Wolfram company have decided to provide the Mathematica kernel on some embedded devices to achieve as much device coverage as possible. I have a question regarding calling the kernel, from a web browser, using javascript on any operating system. My idea is to be able to queue parallel calculations where they will be calculated by general web object activation via web pages. By embedding calculations into media or web content, distributed computing can happen via global internet idle usage while web pages load. With the Wolfram kernel going onto devices ubiquitously this would make highly distributed parallel processing achievable via a subscription model. Is there a javascript interface for the math kernel that will run calculations on the web browser (client) side? Is there a Mathematica javascript plug-in that could run calculations if the math kernel is detected on the client side? Is there a Mathematica kernel based on javascript (!yuck!)? I realize that javascript is not the best language to use as network middle-ware, but that's all we have since the latest public decline of trust in Java. Thanks, P.
