You cant just throw XP or Vista on there and say, hey lets run some benchmarks. It may run, but like any multicore processor and computer, it only works at peak capacity if the software is optimized for the hardware.]]>Sep 25th 2007 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/
And the Cell was made explicitly to to streaming floating point calculations (which games can get a great benefit from if used right, since pretty much all 3D done today is floating point.)]]>Sep 25th 2007 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/]]>Sep 25th 2007 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/Sep 25th 2007 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/
Current MRI machines do not take days to "read" the MRIs.
The MRI computer reconstructs the data from the scan immediately after each sequence ends. There are 5 to 10+ sequences per study depending on the anatomy scanned. The computer does no "reading" of the images. Once all data is acquired, the MRI tech then sends the study to a DICOM server that the Radiologist then has access to. Current MRI machines and post-processing workstations are very quick, almost instant.]]>Sep 25th 2007 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/Sep 25th 2007 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/umbc-ibm-team-up-to-create-playstation-3-based-supercomputer/
