PS3
October 17, 2007
Sony’s hub or Cray supercomputer? Physics has made its choice.
Now yet another use for the PS3.
So you can use your PlayStation 3 for playing games, watching high def movies. And now as part of your very own supercomputer according to the guys at Wired.
Dr. Gaurav Khanna, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts, has linked eight of Sony’s finest to create his so called “gravity grid” to help measure theoretical gravity waves predicted by Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
Well, it sounds slightly more fun than playing Motorstorm for the thousandth time, that’s for sure.
And with our gadget of the year coming in at a cool ten million less than a Cray supercomputer, it looks like that price cut was worth it after all
