Processors: The next commodity? (ZDNet)
David Berlind suggests that
processor power could become a tradeable commodity on the Internet.
"Will the processor turn virtual and will MIPS ever become a commodity
like electricity? Probably. But it may take a while. Current prototypes
suggest that the first commercial grids will have some dependencies. For
example, there will be Linux grids that are only good for Linux-based
applications and they may only be able to run applications designed for a
specific processor architecture like IA-64 or IA-32. "
