Roadrunner, Folding@Home, BladeCenter, and now "E. Coli" and "Amoeba." These two are the codenames for the test and production versions of Terra Soft's latest project, a supercomputer cluster that runs off the Cell processor. And apparently, this will be the first operational Cell supercomputer cluster - a network of processors that should deliver the high-speed, heavy-load processing capabilities of a comparable supercomputer.
Terra Soft will begin work on this tomorrow, according to HPC Wire. They were initially contacted by Sony for this project way back in spring, and the company has remodeled part of their Loveland, CO. headquarters to house 2,400 connected processing systems. The supercomputing cluster will run on the Cell Broadband Engine and Linux OS, and will be comprised, in part, of PS3 systems.
Forza is the best racing game. Xbox will continue to work hard to create Japanese titles.
I wonder how the gamers in Tokyo feel after Phil's email came out about how much he'd like to buy Nintendo.
Nintendo is probably laughing rn since they're winning and doing amazing my friend XD.
"Forza is the best racing game. Sure, it has fewer tracks and no VR, but it's better. Promise."
fr0sty
And it's cars and tracks cost money and there is a battle pass, but it's better.
I'm in Tokyo right now, and I can pretty much promise you that the vast majority of gamers in Tokyo don't give a flying F about that.
I’m sure they wouldn’t want Nintendo owned by a Western mega corporation that can’t even figure out what to do with their own gaming division.
Outside of places like this no one really cares that much. Anyone with some common sense knows it ain't happening. Nintendo's investors would never go for it, and regulators would never approve it. No console manufacturer will be able to buy another. Even if MS were to go software-only, with Bethesda and ABK they'd be way too big to allow that purchase.
The most we'll likely see is further collaboration between the two. Maybe a bespoke version of Game Pass to stream games that otherwise aren't available for purchase on Nintendo systems. Or maybe Nintendo will use Azure to revamp its online infrastructure.
Here's a gem
"First, regarding PC Game Pass, since it is on the same PC platform as Steam, we believe that it provides users with a choice. The choice of which library to build is left to the user's discretion."
I've heard this term before from him..."build a library"
Only your comparing steam to gamepass. On gamepass once you stop paying your library is gone so not really a library like steam which you can always go bac, to play your purchases built over thr years, without paying a penny more.
Saying gamepass is a library implies this, but as we know, it's nothing like this.
Keep using this word 'library' sits wong with me.
It's a collection. A library in something you can reference and go back to to look at your dusty booka you loved as a child. With gamepass m$ can yank any title, at will and throw it in the bin,
No one would do that in my library.!
Of course. With Phil it's 10 percent truth and 90 percent lie.
It's like you said, stop paying and you play nothing because with game pass, you own nothing. There's no library.
Only truth was that it's on PC and a choice between it and Steam.
You mean like how all Subscriptions work? You think you get to keep all those PSN+ games after you unsubscribe? Netflix Hulu, you still think you get to watch movies after unsubscribe?
"Only truth was that it's on PC and a choice between it and Steam."
Which is exactly what he just said and exactly what he meant. Congrats you read it but failed the comprehension (so close). Either have GP library or build it on PC or steam since games hit day one their.
5 percent truth and 95 percent lie. But Jim Ryan lies a lot too. They both can go imo
Gee it's almost like Xbox games release on Steam day and date and ppl can build their xbox games library on Steam. A choice of which library to build. Either on GP in which yes you pay for or Steam a PC games platform where they pay full price for games.
That was easy another failed gotcha moment on your part.
Gamepass is not a library in the true honest sense though. That's why it sits wrong with me.. your steam library is a library though.. point still stands.
Being concerned over what's a library and what's not in your own weird definition is weird thing to be "concerned" about.
You're just doing what you always do Complain just to complain about absolutely nothing at all.
Library definition
COMPUTING subsect:
"a collection of programs and software packages made generally available, often loaded and stored on disk for immediate use."
He's right though. GP isnt a library. PS plus as well. They're just collections. Only steam is because you can go back and forth to download your games which you bought without having to worry about them leaving from your library.
Ok, now I know it will be a linux OS for the Cell (PS3 compatible). Now I have to stock a pile of PS3s and cluster them with help of the beowulf software(?) Then I can play gridwars (a geometry wars clone). :D If it had not mentioned linux OS, it would off topic as PS3 related.
Certainly not gaming related. Still an interesting find.
Seeing this you could say PS3 is a computer? At least it's one hell of a bargain since you wont get any Cell computer for that price.
Looks Like the PS3 has a little more under the hood than the average bear is aware of -(and is ridiculously cheaper than buying a conventional Cell based computer. Great article. I'm gonna use it [PS3]to convert my home into one of those automated "smart homes." LOL
