16 PS3's used to Simulate Black Hole Collisions

Overall, a single PS3 performs better than the highest-end desktops available and compares to as many as 25 nodes of an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer. And there is still tremendous scope left for extracting more performance through further optimization. More on that soon.

That's impressive IMO... I don't know why, it just is. Kind of odd ...

The cell processor thing was for the Air Force, though, not necessarily the black hole study. What I was getting at, was that it was probably more financially feasable to pay for 16 PS3s than it would be to pay for 5 times the amount of Wiis or 3 times the amount of 360s (or however many 360s they would need to equal the processing power of a PS3).

Not that it matters, since I'm sure you bought your PS3 to play games, not simulate black holes, and all of the consoles can play games, so what does it really matter if the Wii or 360 weren't used for this study? :lol

Super Mario Galaxy may have benefited from a more realistic "outer space" experience. :lol
