A few weeks ago I asked if anyone had experience folding with any of Nvidia's Tesla line of cards and blade/server systems. Most people said no, but also said that performance is equivalent to a GTX280 and such. I asked this mostly because I was curious, but also to see if there were any better price/performance solutions out there. Seeing how Tesla isn't any better than 4x GTX280s, here's another one for all of you.
I know that the PS3 can fold using Stanford's PS3 client. Secondly, I also know that the PS3 can run linux natively using the cell processor. Now, has anyone experimented with their PS3 to run a F@H client on linux using a PS3? Granted you don't have any access to the RSX graphics processor, but I was just wondering what the Cell would do on it's own. Does anyone know of the PS3 F@H client uses both the RSX processor and the Cell, or one or the other?
... yeah, I should probably refrain from posting at 4am.
... and I know, curiosity killed the cat.
