What about Cloud Computing:

• What is Cloud Computing? It is a great extension of the AMP (Asymmetric Multi-Processing). Cloud is full of different ‘types’ of computation resources. Each of them has a different latency and a different jitter. Joining them in a huge synchronous phenomenon is something which has not even been attempted. While SoA (Service Oriented Architectures) are around for a long time, they are usually used for Enterprise applications. What are SoAs? They are just an attempt to decouple highly synchronously running huge enterprise applications into separately and asynchronously running sub parts. AMPS just provides this separation down to a function call level. Within AMPS everything is Asynchronous and therefore can be abstracted out to the cloud with little to no coupling effects with the rest of the application.
  AMPS requires the developer of the code “to identify which data belongs to which code”. Once this is identified AMPS sends that data to the next required event handler by the most efficient message passing method available . This fundamental property of AMPS makes scalability of the applications to the cloud seamless.
