It is possible and sensible to plan on writing a client side HTML5 Application that will be doing some CPU intensive calculations? (Image processing)
I know that it's usually has been the standard to offload calculations to the server but since there are new options with HTML5 i'm wondering if we could actually write a full app that will run in the browser.
If I understand correctly, web workers can help with multi-threading tasks but I have no deep knowledge of how that exactly works.
Again, I'm looking for leads on how to approach this, if at all.
Thanks!
