November 20, 2007: Following the overwhelming success of the Folding@home project, Sony’s Playstation 3’s distributed computing power is now being employed in biomedical research.

The new project, called PS3GRID, uses the global PS3 network to compute enzyme reactions and ion conductivity at for a group of international researchers from the Computational Biochemistry and Biophysics Laboratory at Spain’s Universidad Pompeu Fabra.

Check out this article showing how we can harness the power of the Cell processor in the PS3 in a grid/hpc solution, in this case biomedical research. It’s great to see the techology being used in different ways to achieve the end goal.
