Just got this one by e-mail, from CM (:-*)
And this is from Wired: Astrophysicist Replaces Supercomputer with Eight PlayStation 3s
I don’t know if this is a supercomputer replacement, but the guy did it. A cluster of 8 PS3 using Linux for his calculations.
Go and read the story either at Wired or at the PS3 Gravity Grid page. Now, why Linux and not Mac OS X? Steve, an word to say about the portability of Leopard? The guys’ webpage have the logo 
It’s a shame to let them use their PS3 to work with, instead of using them to play withwhile the calculation run on a X-grid.
Anyway, hurray for Dr. Gaurav Khanna.
