A certain Gaurav Khanna from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth created computing cluster based on 8 (eight) Sony PlayStation 3 consoles that is meant to simulate gravity processes. The project is named as "PS3 Gravity Grid" and allows to model Binary Black Hole Coalescence using Perturbation Theory. Actually it’s not first case when PS3 is used as a component for cluster as it has not bad Cell Processor and it’s open platform. How do you think, what operating system manages cluster? Windows? Nope. It’s Linux.
Information Improvisation: Voice over internet protocol, stands for voip, it is a technology that provides cheap voice communication over the network. A 350-030 certifications ensure your skills and knowledge in this field. A company should try to find firms that provide best hosting facility for this technology. For the enterprise customer IP communications can be streamed by having people with 646-229 certifications. A company that is backed up with such technology must not neglect the effectiveness of website templates. For small firms cheapest domain name can save considerable amount of wealth when purchasing it along with the best hosting package, later on, can be spent on purchasing different packages on server.

Hi All,
Thanks for commenting!
Just for fun: Terra Soft Solutions sells 32 node PS3 cluster with Yellow Dog Linux pre-installed for $52250…
Pretty cool, but I don't get why anyone would ever think it would run windows?

I've never had a good reason to buy a PS3, this might just give me that reason.
Why would bill gates be pissed? Its a PS3 running Linux not an Xbox 360…
I'd find that to be more of a way to piss ole billy off.
Hi people,
Zac Garret: Good reason to move to Linux!
Ben: Who knows…
Trojan: Actually Xbox runs Linux as well…
I understand that… My point was that Bill Gates wouldn't give two Sh!ts about linux running on Sony’s crap… That he'd be more pissed on an Xbox360
TheChaddling, could you clarify your idea for Trojan why Bill would be pissed about PS3 cluster?
This is just the reason to buy PS3s. I've been waiting for this day to arrive. A 100/GFLOPS box for $500 bucks with everything you need in each node.
very nice, linux for the win!
I think the point is Xbox has crap processors in comparison.
Hello peoplee86bbac4fe518377a142b61b2a5c2294
I was just saying that William would rather have something of his doing scientific things.
…Sony’s crap? I'm not even going to touch that one.
But yeah I was basically saying Yay for linux in a round about way. But if you must argue every minuscule point of something you don't agree with.. Go ahead, I'll be afk.
