 so what is a petaflop???

"That's the equivalent of every person on earth doing 75,000 simple math problems per second."

 

so how big of an impact is the PS3 having? 

" thanks to the PS3s and its owners who ran Folding@home, the research process on the different diseases being studied has been sped up by a decade." 

 

 

Behold the power of the cell.

That is pretty damn impressive.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

And leo, is PC version of Folding GPU enabled? I'm not very much into it... 

EDIT: Nevermind, I've found it. There's a special client for GPU's... well ATI GPU's only, so I can't contribute

-PS3 = ~35 GLOPS

-OC'd Radeon X1950 = ~100 GFLOPS

Thx leo

 just his typical pointless troll post.



Cool... but we already knew the PS3 has a ton of power.

I'd rather see that power in-game, not in some dumb test I don't care about.

Nothing new here.

The Cell can do 200gflops in theory, yet its only 35gflops on F@H

Maybe people will stop throwing around that benchmark as much
