Air Force Orders Thousands of PS3s for Cluster Computing
A recent purchase invoice from the U.S. Air Force outlines an order for 2,200 Sony Playstation 3 game consoles. The first evidence of their application has cropped up in Rome, NY where 336 of the units have been networked into a cluster computer capable of tremendous processing power. A single stock PS3 running a version of Yellow Dog Linux OS is capable of performance equivalent to a cluster of 30 PCs. With the successful integration of these consumer devices, the Air Force has their work cut out for them when it comes to number crunching.
