Folding@Home on the PS3: Networkless XNA Seems Forlorn
Sony's written a Folding\@Home client for the PS3 and is getting excellent PR for the power of the Cell processor in the PS3. The various "\@home" distributed computing projects struck me as a good example of the type of coding that was more likely to be possible on the …
more ...Turbos Are Here!
