10. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the determined portion of the plurality of computations to be executed by the first client device comprises none of the plurality of computations.

11. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the service comprises calculation of a financial value.

12. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the service comprises a computer software application, each of the plurality of computations being operative to facilitate operation of the computer software application.

13. A system for provision of a plurality of services by a server to a plurality of client devices, the service being based on execution of a plurality of computations, the system comprising:
