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 | 151 | 158943 | 1624489 |
| Mac OS X/PowerPC | 7 | 8706 | 95321 |
| Mac OS X/Intel | 7 | 2700 | 7184 |
| Linux | 35 | 24924 | 215628 |
| GPU | 41 | 689 | 2178 |
| PLAYSTATION®3 | 251 | 10238 | 11172 |
| Total | 492 | 206200 | 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.
