Re: Will WCG Run on a PS3 running Linux BOINC?

Hello Mark Reiss,
WCG does not support any projects on the PS3. Our projects run on Windows, Linux x86 and Mac OS X platforms, as detailed in http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq However, there is a BOINC project (non-WCG) on the PS3 that is run on GPUGRID at http://www.gpugrid.net/

Not really complete. GPUGrid/PS3Grid, SETI@home and Yoyo@home has a PS3 application which uses the SPE (full perfomance of the PS3) and SIMAP and Einstein a PPE application (comparable with a fast G4/G5 PowerPC CPU).
