If you happen to have a PS3 lying around you might be interested in installing Ubuntu on the box. How this is achieved can be read at https://help.ubuntu.com/ [1]. Even better would be clustering a couple of PS3 in order to achieve extreme computational power. The single cell processor is great for computation compared to ordinary processors. When I visited IBM in December last year a tech sales person mentioned that their server equipped with the Cell processor has the computational power of 36 ordinary 2U servers, with two dual core processors in each machine. TerraSoft has announced that they will build the first cell based cluster according to Linux High Performance Computing [2]. I'm not convinced that it is to be the first cluster based on cell processors. Some seem already to have clustered some PS3:s. Read the story here [3]. Anyway the interesting part is that they use an ordinary PS3 to build the cluster. If one broadens the scope to include clusters based on the Cell processor, not PS3, then of course IBM has some projects going on. One major project is aiming towards 1.6 petaflops! Of course this the First Cell Broadband Engine Based Supercomputer [4] according to IBM. It will include 16000 AMD and 16000 Cell processors and will route task to those parts of the system that will most effectively handle the work.
