"TOKYO and FOSTER CITY, Calif., September 19, 2007 - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment systems, part of Stanford University's Folding@home™ program, have enabled the distributed computing project to reach a petaflop, a milestone never before reached on a distributed computing network. Known amongst the scientific community, a petaflop is the ability of a computer to do one quadrillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS). In other words, if every person on the planet were to perform a simple mathematical calculation, such as calculating a percentage, each person would have to perform 75,000 calculations every second for the world's population to achieve a petaflop." So WCG...chop chop  |

I'm sure quite a few crunchers (myself included) would love an excuse to go out & buy one of these
 With 5 large projects going at once in 2008 (HPF2, FAAH, DDDT, Cancer, and HCMD 2), we could really use the extra processing power to speed up these, allow for more docking calculations, and make room for more projects. |

Any more projects and WCG will need it's own private Boinc interface  |
