Not talking custom hardware, when you take your existing app and apply it to the distributed resource and network topology (your 100 servers) you can structure it to maximize its "execution" reward. And the design of the app should take the topology into account. Just creating an app and uploading it to a cloud and assuming the cloud will be smart enough to figure it out? There's gonna be layers there man and resource task switching with other customers. Cloud substrate software is probably good but not that good. You could understand how the cloud processes and structure your app towards that. I have no idea how these clouds are implemented.
