I would be interesting that you develop an application for Linux PowerPC and so could take advantage of an enormous computing power that will be raising with time to reach, we hope, the PetaFlops. That was possible for Folding@home so why not for BOINC. ID: 386 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm not even sure if it's possible to modify the app so it will use full power of the PS3. M4 Project homepage M4 Project wiki ID: 388 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The PS3 PPE is comparable with a Mac with a G4 CPU. ID: 389 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Feel free to try, I'd like to see enigma's performance on PS3 :-D M4 Project homepage M4 Project wiki ID: 391 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Compiling any project app for the PS3 without any modification is a total waste of CPU time that could be better used on projects that do take advantage of SPEs.
