自从PS3加入斯坦福大学的分布式科学运算项目Folding@home以来，短短一个月时间就已经成为贡献最突出的力量。参加项目的PS3 Cell BE处理器虽然数量不及Windows PC处理器，但做出的运算量却是最大的。

索尼称，在过去的30天里，已经有25多万PS3用户注册参加了Folding@home，运算量接近400TeraFlops，占同期总运算量 700TeraFlops的一半以上，也超过了PS3加入之前的同时间总运算量；另外，PS3的“光环效应”还刺激活跃PC用户一个月增加了20％.........

不知道是不是跟PC和boinc比起来，斯坦福更看重PS3的说......
but说起来分布式计算，我还是因为在驱动之家看到关于folding的消息，然后才搜索到咱们论坛的呢~

Sony said Thursday that over 250,000 console owners have registered to participate, and at any given moment provide over 400 teraflops of additional computing power, which is more than half of the total available to the project. With the addition of the PlayStation 3, Sony says the Folding@home project is one of the world's most powerful distributed computing projects.

"Thanks to PS3, we have performed simulations in the first few weeks that would normally take us more than a year to calculate," program lead and Stanford University associate professor Vijay Pande said. "We are now gearing up for new simulations that will continue our current studies of Alzheimer's and other diseases." Sony says it has also released an updated version of the application, which is automatically delivered to current participants after the application is restarted.

Let me give you some informtaion about PS3, the total credit of each of my work is 400000, usually it will take me about 6 hours to 7 hours.
There is only one disadvatanges of PS3's folding@home, if this software starts, I would not be able to use other's function. I can only wait until this project done. Hope this little disadvantages can be improved soon

但近期我不可能为了分布式而去买台PS3。。。。。。。

不知道Wii会不会加入呢

我都心痒痒了···
不过肯定也是不会去买了，都很少玩游戏的。

我的PS3买回家了就发现两个PS3 Only的好游戏，其他的都很一般，要不就是多平台的。所以最近都在算F@H

要花多少￥啊？耗电比较少吧？

从文章来看  运算速度实在是惊人啊！

应该承认纯粹论运算能力，PS3的确是新一代主机里最强的
