This kind of thing is not good for Sony anyway. A lot of hardware but no software to compensate, it's a way to mess with the attach rate.

Those people should know that it costs less and it is faster to do this kind of calculations using GPUs.

No doubt you say this with many years of doing HPC under your belt.

Known fact.

SOOOOOOoooo a single person who does little but read articles on processing against people who do research and actually worth in the environment knows more? I do believe though that the PS3 were chosen for cost effective performance. GPU processing doesn't work for everything. Though I still find it hard to believe that an internet wanderer thinks he knows more than applied and researched work.

Honestly I doubt this will have an impact of the the clusters. They just need to talk to Sony directly for modified firmware variants.

So I presume this "known fact" has documentation that can readily support your assumptions?
