What do you think about compute cloud, powered by general purpose GPUs (graphics processing units), dedicated entirely to stream processing?
It'll provide good(cheap?) facilities for evolutionary computation or media processing (e.g. transcoding video files).
I've read that SUN is working in this direction (apparently due to inoptimal price/performance ratio), and Apple just makes alternative to CUDA, which eventually is one step further to commodity GPGPUs, suitable for cloud.
