"The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has connected 1,760 PlayStation 3 systems together to create what the organization is calling the fastest interactive computer in the entire Defense Department. The Condor Cluster, as the group of systems is known, also includes 168 separate graphical processing units and 84 coordinating servers in a parallel array capable of performing 500 trillion floating point operations per second (500 TFLOPS), according to AFRL Director of High Power Computing Mark Barnell."

Wow this is amazing, I didn't know that they could do something like connecting gaming consoles together to create a SuperComputer environment. Costs $2 million, 5 to 10 percent of an equivalent system. Very innovative and promising. Thumbs up!
I remember hearing about saddam hussein doing this. Also I love this comment....
"Good, now they can buy 1,760 xbox's (old model) and use them for the creation of a super heat system."
