PS3 is already outFLOPing everything else

rich99million · 23 Mar 2007 at 07:57

Code:

OS Type 	 Current TFLOPS  Active CPUs  Total CPUs
Windows 	            151	      158861	 1624307
Mac OS X/PowerPC              7	        8714	   95314
Mac OS X/Intel 	              7	        2696	    7176
Linux 	                     35	       24907	  215595
GPU 	                     40	         678	    2165
PLAYSTATION®3 	            191	        7785	    8719

Total 	                    431	      203641 	 1953276

Which is all very good, though it is interesting to see that the GPU is showing about twice the TFLOPS per machine as the PS3 is :eek:

This could have course be subject to change after the numbers settle down a bit

It would take about 7,300 gpus to match the 200,000 PS3s tflops atm.

I think

Got my PS3 running it. Currently taking about 7.2hrs for a WU. That good?

The PS3 units are all worth 287 points according to the Project Summary page so that works out to about...

287/(7.2/24) = 957 points per day

Which is certainly not bad at all

not as good as windows SMP tho.
current prices for PS3 makes it cheaper to have a C2D system and run SMP (linux)

Well i didn't buy the PS3 to Fold@Home. It's just a benefit

PS3 Folding client has a cool feature which shows you the other Folding PS3s on a globe though which i like.

yeah I like that feature - it at least gives you something to look at while you're trying not to play games on it

PS3 is just too expensive for my blood
if they had relesed the cheaper ver in the UK I may have bought it. tempted to get a Wii tho

All consoles for the win tbh

we've already proved that, infact, PC>Consoles

The deadlines are short. I know that's to be expected for a high-performance client, but people who fold but also play a lot of games might find it tough to meet them...

iirc the WUs are short anyway

Berserker · 23 Mar 2007 at 11:59

Aye, and the points are weighted against the PS3 (if they weren't, a PS3 would probably trash a whole farm of PCs).

What I like is that both the Intel and PPC Macs are achieving the same TFlops - but the Intel Macs have a whole lot less CPUs. That's progress I guess.

rich99million, wheres the news? Coming soon i hope

i really want to see how much i've improved this week

Got a few people jumping aboard Team 10 with their shiny new PS3s

Dr_Evil · 23 Mar 2007 at 13:16

PS3 is 1 big FLOP itself!

ooooops - I kid you not

I know why I forgot though as I'm not working at the moment and the missus had Wednesday off so Thursday felt like a Monday

I'll get something sorted later tonight - will have to normalise all the numbers for 8days instead of 7 (doh!)

edit: I probably wouldn't have been able to do it last night due to the problems Stanford was having anyway - still can't believe I forgot it though, will program my phone with reminders for the next few weeks I think

don't worry about it rich - but we were are thinking that same as mikey

Don't make it hard on yourself - just do a special edition 14 day news next week in which everone is a winner due to increased production stats

Use the time saved to tread your misses to a slap-up fish and Chip supper

Edit: I take it that your job is now offically no more

what's it like being a kept man

/me does Mr Scruff dance at the mention of fish and chips

Now that's not a bad plan (both the 14-day news and the fish + chip supper)

and lol I'm not really a kept man - more of a househusband with rapidly diminishing savings

new job will come along shortly - they always do
