PS3Cluster Guide: By The Cluster Workshop
You can perform enormously complex calculations by day, and play a wicked game of Crisis by night ;-)>
The PS3 is doomed to go down in history as one of those amazing contraptions that was just too far ahead of it's time.
Mmmmmm..... $4,000 super-computer. *drool*

Q: Why the PS3?
A: In short, the Cell Processor ‘packs a punch’. One of the authors
(Khanna) estimates that his MPI computations run much faster than on
desktop workstation chipsets, and that his original 8 PS3 (i.e. 64
core) Cell cluster had comparable if not better performance to a 200
Node IBM Blue Gene system.
Mmmmmm..... $4,000 super-computer. *drool*
