Data as a service yearly). The drawbacks of data as a service are generally similar to those associated with any type of cloud computing, such as the reliance of the customer on the service provider's ability to avoid server downtime. Specific to the DaaS model, a common criticism is that when compared to traditional data delivery, the consumer is really just "renting" the data, using it to produce a graph, chart or map, or possibly perform analysis, but for data as a service, generally the data is not available for download. "Service automation units" (code that expresses the service interface) may contain methods for
General-purpose computing on graphics processing units provides a simplified GPU programming model based on GPU parallel-for and parallel aggregate using delegates and automatic memory management. MATLAB supports GPGPU acceleration using the "Parallel Computing Toolbox" and "MATLAB Distributed Computing Server", and third-party packages like Jacket. GPGPU processing is also used to simulate Newtonian physics by Physics engines, and commercial implementations include Havok Physics, FX and PhysX, both of which are typically used for computer and video games. Close to Metal, now called Stream, is AMD's GPGPU technology for ATI Radeon-based GPUs. C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP) is a library that accelerates execution of C++ code by
