Can you give a concrete example, then? I can't think of anything
offhand that Fabric cannot currently do along those lines; it can
execute any remote shell command (normally and via sudo), local shell
commands, put/get files, and is capable of obtaining the output of the
remote commands and performing logic based on those results.

So if your concern isn't about where the calculations are actually
performed, Fabric should be able to do what you need.
