Not exactly, it is a task queue that allows workers to be run in the browser.

If you could break your problem up in to lots of small isolated tasks it could be used like that

Based on a quick inspection (WS opened, binary frames going over it, and CPU utilization), this appears to be the case.

A very interesting way to do distributed computing!
