I understand that the idea for this project to run on PS3. I was wondering if there is the ability, or any plans, to run it on other platforms, like linux on PCs? I understand it would be much slower. But I assume any additional crunching would be welcome. Similar to having both C2Q and PIII crunching other projects. | |

Hello! We do not expect to have PC applications any time soon, although it would clearly gather a lot of CPUs. The problem is that, with a PC, the type of applications we are doing now would last over two weeks. Quite useless, much better to run on a cluster. The PS3 is like a little cluster. GPGPU: We are looking into it, but developing good code for the Cell processor and GPUs is not easy. We may do something here in the future. So for now, Linux anywhere. | |
