US Air Force Buying Another 2,200 PS3s 144

bleedingpegasus sends word that the US Air Force will be grabbing up 2,200 new PlayStation 3 consoles for research into supercomputing. They already have a cluster made from 336 of the old-style (non-Slim) consoles, which they've used for a variety of purposes, including "processing multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images (known as synthetic aperture radar image formation), high-def video processing, and 'neuromorphic computing.'" According to the Justification Review Document (DOC), "Once the hardware configuration is implemented, software code will be developed in-house for cluster implementation utilizing a Linux-based operating software."

Great throw an acronym at the problem...all solved. I think his question is more about how to get it documented not what flavor of the day framework to use. PS. Have you found a decent CMDB product yet?

That is why Sirrus wants the merger so bad. They need to add all of XM subscribers to pay Sterns salary. And bring him back in to the proverbial picture. The reason they are so so slow in approving anything is tax payer money was put forth to create multiple systems. Two systems were created so that it would not become a utility and there would be competition in the market. Do you remember how freaking awful cable was before alternatives became available. There is also competition in the technology that they use. Another reason Sirrus wants XM is they created a better system with more coverage the Sirrus did.
