- Why the interest in PS3 clustering? A: The Cell Processor ‘packs a punch’. One of the authors (Khanna) estimates that his MPI computations run much faster than on desktop workstation chipsets, and that a 8 node Cell cluster has comparable if not better performance to a 200 Node IBM Blue Gene system. And of course this computing power is available at a significantly lower price.
