I'm curious what an example use case is for scientific computing on an embedded device. Is this for real-time analysis on a data logger or something?

Many of us think of clusters as high-performance scientific computing, which are about as far from embedded as it gets.

Please note that I am not being snarky, just curious!

Thanks for the question! My background is in numerical optimization for optimal control. Projects like this https://github.com/acados/acados motivated the development of prometeo. It's mostly about solving optimization problems as fast as possible to make optimal decisions in real-time.
