Slashdot | PS3 Folding@Home Begins with Impressive Numbers

first day of PS3 folding and there already outfolding all other operating systems/devices combined. The PS3 has sold no where near the number of consoles that will eventualy be out there. Are the days of running the F@H client on pc numbered?

(still quite happy that the project has had that big boost though

)

Active CPUS are defined as those which have returned WUs within 50 days. Active GPUs are defined as those which have returned WUs within 10 days (due to the shorter deadlines on GPU WUs). Active PS3's are defined as those which have returned WUs within 2 days.

*TFLOPS is actual flops from the software cores, not the peak values from CPU/GPU/PS3 specs. We take a conservative approach to FLOP calculation, rendering quantities such as exp(x) or sqrt(x) as a single FLOP, if the hardware supports it. This can significantly underestimate the FLOP count (as others would count an exp(x) as 10 or 20 FLOPS, for example). Others take a much less conservative approach and we are considering giving two counts, adding a more traditional (less conservative) count as well.
