Ask HN: What would you compute on 2000 badly behaved worker nodes?

I work for CrowdProcess, and we built a distributed computing platform that runs on Web Workers (badly behaved, i.e. volatile connections with some latency), to monetize websites replacing advertising.

We already have +2000 nodes and have been getting pretty good speedups in Monte-Carlo based algorithms. We also have the simplest ever API for a distributed computing platform.

What else would you build using it ?
