The PS3’s inherent skill at protein folding is largely due
to its Cell Broadband Engine, which is
amongst the fastest in the network and
is bested only by the fastest GPUs. According to Sony, more than 250,000 unique
PS3 users have registered to the program in just one month. PS3 users are
delivering nearly 400 teraflops, representing more than half the
computing capacity of the network's 700 teraflops at a single moment.
