A method is disclosed for distributed computing using a plurality of web-enabled swarm devices. The method comprises: receiving, by a server platform, a workload request originating from a requestor, which workload request is associated with a workload; receiving, by the server platform, the workload associated with the workload request; splitting, by the server platform, the received workload into a group of subtasks; distributing the group of subtasks to the plurality of swarm devices; collecting, by the server platform, one or more result sets from the plurality of swarm devices based on performing of the group of subtasks by the swarm devices; assembling the one or more result sets into a computational result; and providing the requestor with the computational result.
