Scientists at US UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH - professor Gaurav Khanna and Principal Investigator Chris Poulin - have created a step-by-step guide to building a home-brewed supercomputer that can help reduce the cost of research computing. Found at www.ps3cluster.org , the resource illustrates how to create a high performance supercomputer by using the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) in a grid. The guide to build the PS3 grid is freely available to the public under an open source license.
