==Introduction== | |||
[[Improbable]] is a cloud computing and technology startup based in London, England. It was founded by 2 computer scientists, [[Herman Narula]] and [[Rob Whitehead]], from University of Cambridge. Improbable is developing a platform called [[SpatialOS]] that enables large scale simulations. It can be used to create a large and seamless world containing many players and objects by allowing for parallelization among large number of machines. Developers can create a simulation that runs on 1 machine then easily scale it with Improbable's technology to numerous machines to create the massive simulated world. | [[Improbable]] is a cloud computing and technology startup based in London, England.
