Abstract

The heart of the Sony PlayStation 3, the STI CELL processor, wasn't originally intended for scientific number crunching, just as the PlayStation 3 itself wasn't meant primarily to serve such purposes. Yet, both these items could impact the high-performance computing world. This introductory article takes a closer look at the cause of this potential disturbance.
