PlayStation 2: Computational Cluster
25 Sep 04 - http://www.approximity.com/cgi-bin/blogtariAgile/index.rb/Playstation/PlayStation2Cluster.html
The NCSA has constructed a PlayStation 2 Linux cluster as a test bench for scientific computation on "toy" hardware. The cluster consists of 65 compute nodes, 4 user login and development nodes, and 1 prototype node for software installation tests. All the nodes run the Sony Linux distribution for PlayStation 2. The compute nodes fill a 24-inch rack; 5 shelves at 13 per shelf (see left); link Looking forward to see such solutions for the new upcoming Playstation 3.
