iExec will be many things.
The compute layer for Ethereum, which is huge alone.
But more importantly, a layer of interoperability across the entire world. IoT, Fog computing, HPC, datasets, seperate infrastructures from centralized providers, all accessible by a common interface. Decentralization lets the entire world and huge centralized providers and technologies, interact with eachother seamlessly. For smart cities to work, they will need iExec. For internet of things to work, it needs iExec. All companies will also benefit from the privacy preserving environment of the marketplace, due to TEE and SGX integrated oracles. So interoperability and data sharing between big tech will skyrocket.
AWS already sees the need for this, which is why they've been huge on hybrid cloud lately. But it doesn't come close to the power that decentralization, cost-effectiveness, and blockchain offers.
iExec will be a massive global supercomputer that never needs to spin up; it will just always be there. Consumers can perfectly customize a computing interface that meets their needs. A wide range of technologies and capabilities from all over the world, without vendor lock in.
So I see that happening, and I also see it becoming the "Amazon.com" of Artificial Intelligence. Companies will be able to conserve computing power to focus on development of AI, and be able to monetize their trained models and datasets and offer them to the whole world.
I think 5 years from now iExec will be a household name. Devices will all be interconnected and lack native processing power; it will all come from providers on iExec, and the entire world will be able to freely develop and exchange AI datasets, leading to a burst of development in that space. IExec could very well become the tool that leads to the singularity. They already have GPU and HPC integration, meaning Nvidia will love it, and I can see quantum computers eventually being connected as well.
I think it's world changing.
