Step-by-Step Guide to Building A Super Computer

I remembered when they had to ban the shipments of PS2s to Iraq for fear of them building a super computer with it...but that was just the PS2. Imagine what they could have done with the PS3, especially since there's now a guide to actually making your own. Maybe it's time to get cracking on building that 'fricking laser beam' on the moon or maybe just make a super Seti @ Home computer to find alien life....

ps3cluster.org - Our community guide allows you to set up your own MPI (Message Passing Interface) based supercomputer cluster with the Playstation 3. This guide was co-written by Gaurav Khanna, based on his previous work on the Gravity Grid and is a current run-time environment for the research of co-author (Chris Poulin), based on his current work in distributed pattern recognition. As such, we currently utilize the Fedora Core for this infrastructure and illustrate a "how-to" below. NOTE: We focus on the Fedora 8 distribution, due to prevalence of Fedora and its Cell SDK (3.0) compatibility. Finally, this content should be considered open source, and here is the license.
