[email protected] released for PS3
Stanford's [email protected] project is reporting that Sony debuted a [email protected] client for the PlayStation 3 today in Germany. Researchers hope to use the power of the PS3's Cell processor to greatly expand the number of FLOPS of which their network is capable. [email protected] also announced today that they will release a client capable of running on ATI graphics processors. With these two new developments, [email protected] hopes to raise the total power of their distributed computing network to 1-10 petaflops. At the upper end of that target, the network would be faster than any current supercomputer, at least in terms of FLOPS. |
