One of the national labs built a cluster of ~70 Sony PlayStation 2's a
few years back and tried to do Molecular Dynamics on them - not sure if
it was viable successful, but Mercury seems to be trying the same thing
with the Cell chip. (http://www.mc.com/cell/)
Not sure I'd want to program for 8 cores though...
Think parallel assembler. If you have ever dealt with Cradle
processors, then you have a good idea of what parallel multicore
programming is like.
