Not sure how hackable it is.... from what I've read it's a slimmed down version of the Cell processor - only 4 SPU's ..the question is who is going to be first to pull the Cell chip from their PS3 and stick it in it..... http://www.custompc.co.uk/news/604962/leadtek-demos-cell-chip-on-a-pci-e-card.h...

Sorry no - there is no public viewing options..... but here are the results so far- 24 responses (a few deleted due to garbage / b.s.) approx 60% directly on the PS3 83% Linux 33% Fedora 25% Ubuntu 16% Yellow Dog 20% Gentoo everyone using C++, 20 % using Assembly and 14% python 51% using the IBM SDK...

http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/aug08/6479 Talking about using compression on memory to gain more memory.... they are talking about a performance penalty of only .2% to 9.2% worse case....while doubling the amount of memory.... the author has a website with some of the tools / more info... http://ziyan...

:) I know what you mean.... I'd say that VNC is simular to SSH in the respect to which you are using it = so I'd say that you developing on the PS3.... unless anyone else thinks otherwise... so far we are running at 17 responses 82% linux based 60% on the ps3 itself Fedora at 47% (rev 8 and 9 for th...

naaa I don't want 1 on my desk - I want a whole cluster :)

well maybe not on my desk.... but somewhere in the same house would be nice...

J.

well... it does have a PCI slot....

2 PCIe x16 mechanical, x8 electrical full-size cards
25W maximum; consult factory for higher power cards

25w max may be a problem.... but power supplies are cheap :)

I came across these sites a few days ago - For 10k you can get a PCI based Cell based solution - http://www.fixstars.com/en/products/gigaaccel180/ this company also sells a 1u solution.... - Dual Cell based... but no mention of the video.... http://www.fixstars.com/en/products/dcbs2.html As well as ...

Agreed - just hope the price isn't too high :)

from what I was reading - it has complete access to the RSX......

I guess this needs to be moved to the 'other development' forum..... but just came across this after more searching -

http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/produ ... -100.shtml

it's listed as having 2gigs of ram :)

I saw articles back mid last year referring to a 'Sony computing board' - but nothing recent - until now -

I wonder how 'hackable / open' this will be........

J.

Good Idea - I'll add the question of fw level, as well as number of PS3's.... could possibly find some developers here with 5+ units

J.

Again - keep them coming - thanks to those who have filed out the survey...... interesting results so far - 75% developing on the PS3 directly Fedora taking a little over 50% (23% Ubuntu, and 23% Yellow Dog) so far I have 13 valid responses ( a few garbage ones), but the more the better and more acc...

Thanks for those who have submited so far - keep them comming...

pretty intresting so far - I didn't expect it - but out of the 7 current responders - 6 of them are developing direcly on the PS3 v's using a PC.... I didn't expect that... so for those PC based developers - speak up please....


J.

Looking a little better.... 3 people have filled out the survey... I'd think that I'd need a good 20+ to make it worth while....

I'd hope for alot more - this site appears to have over 11,000 users... not sure of the number of active users... but stilll.....

J.

We I know that we have many lurkers here (my self currently included), but close to 100 views - and only 1 person filling out the survey...... with the data collected from the survey - I'm hoping that it will make life easier for people getting started in developing for the PS3.... at least then the...

I want to begin developing stuff on the PS3 / Linux, but as usual - everyone has their own preferred way of developing..... so I thought I'd get a general consensus of what people are doing..... I do not work for any software / hardware companies, no personal info collected etc...... I gain absolute...

ok - well since new version of alot of the different versions of Linux is due out at the end of this month I'm putting off installing till then..... That being said - I'm torn between a few different versions - YDL 6.0 for the PS3 (since it is setup specificly for the PS3) Fedora on my PC - due to I...

just got this back from terrasoft / YD.... 'All of these products are the same except that some come with install support and some do not. The free download is the same as all the products that we sell. It is not crippled in anyway and still contains the exact same packages. ' So I guess their PS3 p...

Just wondering - The release that Terra Soft Linux for PS3 - the one that you have to pay $80.00 or $40.00 with no support - is it the same as the free one that you can d/l? - does it have all the same PS3 dev software included..... is there any benefit to using YD vs's Ubuntu? - or just personal pr...
