Comments on: GPU Access on the PS3? http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/9073 Embrace your Inner Penguin Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:38:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/9073/comment-page-1#comment-143733 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 21:43:00 +0000 #comment-143733 Just to be clear for anyone reading this Folding@home already runs from the PS3 *firmware / Playstation OS. You don’t even need Linux on there for it. If you want to run it inside PS3 Linux you may be able to do that later as well — I’d suggest emailing the team. They seem to be very ‘helpful’ with providing clients as they want free processing. ^^

People want RSX access for OpenGL and accelerated rendering first and foremost. GP-GPU isn’t all that to begin with unless you have a very narrow scope problem that needs a DSP, and you already have CELL access.

I know there’s a PS3 client that uses the cell processor, but I don’t know if it’ll run if the PS3 is booted into Linux.
