Really good article on Eurogamer - to sum it up, from things that a typical game engine cycle consists of:

- Game physics (update models)
- Triangle setup and optimization
- Tessellation
- Texturing
- Shading
- Various render passes
- Lighting calculations
- Post effects
- Immediate AI
- Ambient (world) AI
- Immediate physics (shots, collisions)
- Ambient physics

things that seem suited for running on cloud:

- ambient background tasks
- some forms of lighting (though it seems only for static environments)
- background AI
