Dmitry, there is really no such thing as 'Beowulf' It is a combination of using a parallel library - such as PVM or MPI with commodity hardware. That looks like a really, really interesting setup! My advice to you - download OpenSUSE 11.1 for your head node, and download the CUDA development kit from http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_home.html That should give you plenty of CPU power with 4 CUDA cards. And please let us know how you progress - I'm very interested in running CFD codes on CUDA. (Hint - I look after CFD machines) Sorry I cannot help with the preferred way to run Sony PS3s. However, I think you should concentrate on the mix of x86_64 and CUDA - as I Say you have lots of potential there.
