with only 41,115 Ps3's running, the petaflop barrier was crossed on folding@home. F@H is a distributed computing network that is now the most powerful in the world because of the PS3. As the PS3 is capable of running 24/7, its potential for use here is just starting to be seen. It was only a matter of time before is got here, but with only 41,115 PS3's running, imagine what the numbers would be if everyone ran F@H, this could be something truly great.
