Hey guys...
I just read about the possibility to install linux (special Power PC builds) on the PS3.
Could it be possible to run Indigo on such a system (using wine???)
Does anybody of you own a PS3 and could test & Benchmark this?
If this would work, the PS3 could become a "low cost" render machine with a lot of processing power!
So feel free to throw in your knowledge about this!
PS3 + Linux + Indigo = ???

In theory, it would work, but no.
Yes, the Ps3 has eight processor cores, but when Linux is used, only one of the cores is even used. Performance is said to be comparable to a Celeron.
Although Indigo can launch multiple threads, so I have no idea. But even still, I don't think it would even run on a PowerPC CPU. Doesn't Indigo need some special hardware extension?
