All cloud compute soltutions are based on software. Its a development platform for cloud computing which isn't something you can just easily dismiss. Its being able to leverage a language like C# to handle decrete portion of your code in the cloud and apply as many resources to process that call as needed. The difference in Orleans is that you have a full cloud development environment and framework to process pieces of your code. Check this link out and the video how 343 is using it for their games http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/orleans/ At least now it appears you actually read up on it. Its a complete infrastructure to handle computation resources. Its MS implementation of cloud compute to solve a specific problem for game related code. The problem I had with your previous statements is that you dismissed something that MS has worked on for 3 years as if there is no significant development on the platform. |
I dissmissed it because it wasn't and isn't what you think it is, or what MS PR bullshit has been saying it is. All Orleans is is a way to create a shit ton of virtual servers at once. It isn't really all that special it's more PR bull straight from MS. Why don't you try finding something about Orleans not by a MS employee. No graphical enhancements. Watch the video, all they talk about is "talking" to a bunch of devices at once and running apps. No talk of graphical enhancements. Just a total lie on how it gives the One unlimited power.
