umm...Forth! It would be a very popular project indeed. l33t credits for those with sufficient Horsepower. Too bad OpenMosix atm doesn't deal with boinc well. Seems like it would work with a single project meant to run on clusters in my mind but not sure. As echoed by others bandwidth and diskspace are non issues for many here. Another route I could see being hugely succesfull, and provide a level of stability/reliabilty with results not seen when using multiple hardware platforms. Would be if...there was a way to make an app that just needed ridiculous amounts of cpu but could handle limited ram. The coolest thing in the world would be to have a project like LHC (that so many people feel so passionately about) make use of all the PS3's. Look at the enourmous computing power Folding brought to the table with the ps3 app. I think a project like this could really show what ps3's can do. Look at the groups making small ps3 clusters with 6-8 machines to replace leased supercomputer time. Here is a company that makes turn key ps3 clusters. http://terrasoftsolutions.com/ Anyway, sorry to ramble on and on just been really excited about the LHC and about the crunching power of PS3, but not too interested in the science at ps3grid. Not enough to farm them anyway. So I think this would be a match made in heaven. |
