US Air force build super computer from over 1,000 PlayStation 3 consoles

When Sony issued a recent PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update removing the device's ability to install alternate operating systems like Linux, it did so to protect copyright content—but several research projects suffered.

The US Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York picked up 336 PS3 systems in 2009 and built itself a 53 teraFLOP processing cluster. Once completed as a proof of concept, Air Force researchers then scaled up by a factor of six and went in search of 2,200 more consoles (later scaled back to 1,700). The $663,000 contract was awarded on January 6, 2010, to a small company called Fixstars that could provide 1,700 160GB PS3 systems to the government.
