Afam:
What is this heavy work that is being referred to here?
Parallel and Grid Computing is an area that i have been invloved in recently that requires a lot of "heavy work".

An example is implementing Monte Carlo simulations algorithims in a Grid or in parallel on a multi core server

Here is a wiki definition of what Monte Carlo is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

So let me give you an idea of how this works in our case. We do have a website and while this could be developed in PHP( ours is in Java) we have a seperate infrastructure handling all these "heavy work " in the back end.

Am not gonna bore you with the technical details but these back end "heavy work" requires working with hundreds of thousands of market data and performing some sort of Stochastic/Probabilitistic modelling on them.

Btw this back end infrastructure is developed in the fastest langugue possible (C++ in our case) because it is so crucial that we extract,  and react to data as fast as possible
