Petavision project using petaflops supercomputer


Is artificial vision just around the corner?
Roadrunner has a unique hybrid design comprised of nodes containing two AMD OpteronTM dual-core processors plus four PowerXCell 8iTM processors used as computational accelerators. The accelerators are a special IBM-developed variant of the Cell processors used in the Sony PlayStation 3.

Are PS3 bundles better for that task than the NVIDIA GC performance monsters ?
Or perhaps FPGA?
