title: Usecases/experience of JavaScript for HPC (High Performance Computing)
body: <p>Microsoft has <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2011/12/12/improved-developer-experience-interoperability-and-scalability-on-windows-azure.aspx" rel="nofollow">announced</a> preview version of Hadoop on Azure. JavaScript can also be used to write MapReduce jobs on Hadoop.</p>
  
  <p>I know that there had been a lot of work on JavaScript in the browsers for the last few years to improve the performance (especially <a href="http://code.google.com/p/v8/" rel="nofollow">V8</a>). Can anyone share use-cases or their experience using JavaScript for HPC (High Performance Computing)?</p>
  
  <p>Here is an intersting article on using JavaScript on Hadoop with <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/" rel="nofollow">Rhino</a>.</p>
