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. Michael Fahey
