[email protected]: do good with your PS3 with these screens and facts
You already know that with the gift of FW 1.6 for the PS3 comes the gift of life – or at least medical research credits. But here we have, fresh off the press, the official stats and pics for Stanford University‘s [email protected] PS3 network program. Come on, let’s do our hearts some good this time.
Just leave the PS3 on idle – being 20-30 times faster than a standard PC, it will speed up Stanford’s research work: “what once took 5-10 years to compute can now take a matter of months.”
- A network of roughly 10,000 PS3s can accomplish the same amount of work as the current network or 200,000 PCs in the FAH program.
- The PS3 graphics chip allows for users to actually watch the protein folding that their particular PS3 is simulating on screen with vivid imagery and color.
- PS3 users are able to rotate the protein strand and zoom in and out through the use of the SIXAXIS™ wireless controller.
- PS3 users can view a “live” map of the world that identifies the specific locations where fellow PS3 users are connected to the FAH program.
- The PS3 FAH program will be available to users by the end of March, 2007.
Now, don’t you feel better about owning a US$ 600.00 gaming machine? “Stand for what you believe in… just reach deep inside you, you can be that shining light…”
