On one end, there is more computing power available with multiple physical machines. Then there are other resources besides computing power: storage space, network bandwidth, and other devices. Yet another advantage of proper distributed systems is resilience. With a growing number of machines, there are a growing number of failure points. A proper distributed system should be able to operate under arbitrary process failures.
Cloud Haskell is a relatively new but mature platform that's modelled from Erlang's wonderful execution model. Cloud Haskell ...
