Folding@Home update: PS3 breaks Petaflop barrier in its own - Image 1

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Senior Development Manager for Research and Development Noam Rimon posted an article over at the official PlayStation Blog regarding another milestone for the PlayStation 3 console in connection with Standford University's Folding@Home project.

It was only last week when we reported that the entire project has finally broken the so-called Petaflop barrier. It means that Folding@Home was finally able to accomplished more than a quadrillion floating point operations per second. Then comes today's record-breaking news, revealed by Rimon:


The influx of gamers supporting this cause has grown so greatly that we've actually broken a second record within a week! This time the aggregated computation power of the PS3 consoles - by themselves - has crossed the Petaflop line.


The output of all the participating PlayStation 3 consoles in the project now totals 1,020 TFLOPS from 41,145 participants. This is certainly a good day for PS3 owners and we'd like to conclude this one with Noam Rimon's own words, "How does it feel to be part of the most powerful distributed computer network in the world"?
