Has anyone seen a citation or reference for actually running WRF on a PS3

indication it'd show improvement over a "normal" cluster.
Just make sure that whatever application you plan to run on the PS3
cluster is not memory-intensive. The PS3 only has roughly 200MB (I
forgot the exact number) of memory available to Linux.
Apparently the folks at TeraSoft can bulk that up a little bit. To,
like, 2GB, or so I'm told.
Thanks, Gerry
