#ALGORITHMS: "Intel Empowers Parallel Web Apps"

Client-side parallel processing on the multi-core processor in your desktop, laptop, tablet computer and even Intel-powered smartphone will become possible for the first time in 2013.

James also described a companion HTML5 Developer Zone which will focus exclusively on cross-platform applications for Apple iOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows and the open-source Tizen operating system..
