Clustering "Fats"

Postby Taellik » 19 Aug 2009, 20:24

"Fat" PS3 are no longer being manufactured in favor of the "slim" PS3 models so now would seem like an opportunity to pick up some "fats" and see about how we could learn how to make our own clusters from them to use.

Seems kinda neat idea since inventory for the the"fats" will be marked down to make space for the "slims".

Any ideas where to take the 1st baby steps on this ??

Here's a couple of links:

Here's one person's cluster:
http://moss.csc.ncsu.edu/~mueller/cluster/ps3/

Here's another's:
http://www.physorg.com/news148749271.html

He posted a setup guide here:

And - of course - Fixstars has a guide - they sell the Y-HPC clustering software:

Cheers,

P.S. A PS2 cluster:
