Not just any supercomputer, the Air Force used approximately 1,760 PlayStation 3 consoles to build theirs, and it’s even claimed to be ” the 33rd biggest computer in the world.” No word yet on if they will release a tutorial so you can build your own.
Yes, the Air Force’s crazy PS3 computer consists of all those gaming consoles, stripped of their Blu-ray functionality, connected to 168 seperate graphical processing units and 84 coordinating servers.
