Scientists use PlayStations to create supercomputer

Not only is it an entertainment device, scientists have been able to create a supercomuter out of it!

Recently, two American scientists have created an easy guide on how to build a supercomputer while using Playstation 3 video games.

"The guide, posted online at ps3cluster.org, allows users with some programming knowledge to install a version of the open-source operating system Linux on the video consoles and connect a number of consoles into a computing cluster or grid."

The researches say this guide could provide a cheaper alternative to renting time on supercomputers to run their simulations.
