This was on the frontpage of my college's website. Sound pretty cool. Now if I could just find out where they put them...

Go Heels! Just kidding.

That really cool. Glad to see the PS3 used for something useful.

Another problem lies in limited speed for double-precision calculations required by scientific applications, but announcements for the next-generation Cell processor address this issue.

I'm not buying a PS3 until they up the speed for double-precision calculations. They want $600 for a measley single-precision calculating piece of shit? Pft. It's over. Sony is finished.

Funny, all my schools have always said they couldn't get money for new text books.... k I guess I know why now...

I wonder what games the professor got for himself to go along when he ordered the 8 PS3's. He must have envisioned himself being bored in his office at times...

What next gen cell processor?

It's good to know the PS3 is useful for something, even if it does take 8 of them.
