Show HN: Pollux – A Message Passing Cloud Orchestrator

Pollux is a Message Passing Cloud orchestrator designed to distribute and manage complex algorithms, including NP-Hard and Complete problems, across multiple Cloud-based machines.

In today's world many computational problems from network routing to semiconductors to AI are becoming more and more complex.

We believe that the next step for optimization of such complex grand scale computation is to leverage the massive parallelization the Cloud can offer.

We believe that this step has not been reached yet, as there is no genuine Cloud suitable framework for this type of computation; most of the frameworks used for similar purposes are actually meant for supercomputers, not the Cloud.

Our goal is to provide such a framework, designed for Cloud architecture while easy enough to use for engineers from any field. Through a clear interface they should be able to parallelize any algorithm without being Cloud experts.

Our goal is not to treat the Cloud as a super computer, it is not. Our goal is to virtualize a super computer on the Cloud and finally open these capabilities to a wider audience.

Pollux Message Passing API is currently limited to C++ but can be extended to Python, Rust, ...) in the future.

Criticism and suggestions welcome!
