Google I/O 2009 Native Code for Compute Intensive Web Apps

Google I/O 2009 - Native Client: Using Native Code to Build Compute Intensive Web Applications

Brad Chen

Some applications require high-performance client-side computation. Native Client is a technology for running native code in web applications, with the goal of maintaining the browser neutrality, OS portability, and safety that people expect from web apps. This talk will give a brief overview of the architecture of Native Client. We'll then look at some specific example applications as well as strategies for how to use native code to handle compute intensive tasks within web applications using SRPC, Shared Memory and NPAPI.

all the c programers are very hold

[ytkarpdm]

this ones is for pros: interesting for high perfomance computing, which uses threads, compression multimedia and vector operations

didnt understand a blinkin word

Excellent presentation.

Yes, i wrote my comment (#1), halfway through the video, i guess i couldn't wait for the end :-)

Again, this is amazing (tech and the talk), eagerly waiting for more news on this

Btw, about presentation... Brad is great. Two others are probably technical guys and are completely out of presentation procedure.

One step closer to Google Chrome OS :-)

This presentation is one of the most fluid and clear I have seen from Google (how can you top 5 starts? 6 stars). Give this guy the (another) job of being in charge of all video and presentations and a pay raise of course.

Regarding NaCl, these are some smart guys doing this tech, but I can't help being a little skeptic, security wise. I mean alayising code? have you heard of the Halting problem (might not be related)

Anyway, thanks to google, these are very interesting times to live in.
