PS3 Supercomputer Cluster
Shared by: Feedmaster on Feb 1 2010
To better understand how the human brain recognizes and processes images, the Air Force is acquiring 1700 PS3 gaming consoles to create what it calls the "500 TeraFLOPS Heterogeneous Cluster." Researchers plan to run such applications as Back Projection Synthetic Aperture Radar Imager formation, and Neuromorphic Computing, which mimics human nervous systems.
