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. Michael Fahey
