    PS3 Dominates Folding@Home

    PlayStation 3 users around the world have found a completely new way to kick ass online. Take a look at the performance statistics for the Folding@home program as of 8am Eastern this morning:




    OS Type Current TFLOPS* Active CPUs Total CPUs
    Windows 1511589431624489
    Mac OS X/PowerPC 7870695321
    Mac OS X/Intel 727007184
    Linux 3524924215628
    GPU 416892178
    PLAYSTATION®3 2511023811172
    Total 492206200 1955972

    Take a look at those TFLOPS. That's PS3 machines delivering over 251 trillion floating point operations per second, 100 trillion more than ten times the number of active PC CPUs, and the number is growing every time I refresh the stats page. Say what you will of the PS3 as a game machine, but this is pretty spectacular to see. Warms the cockles something fierce, and I do so love warm cockles.
