Its good to see the PS3 put to use. I prefer to play games, mabe the PS3 will be used for its true purpose when it gets some good games. Thats great for science. Its good to see the PS3 put to use.

When they are all linked together they are effectively a supercomputer. IBMs new Supercomputer called Roadrunner uses 16,000 AMD Opteron CPU and 16,000 Cell processors the same as the ones in the PS3. True.

Isn't this still the case? I mean if it took 41K PS3s to do a petaflop, I would say that would make one helluva supercomputer if a machine could do that on its own. Is there even a supercomputer out there with this kind of throughput potential? “one Petaflop – which is mind blowing considering the amount was once thought to be accomplishable only by a supercomputer.”
