Re: Xbox speeds up research results

We also have a PBS pro cluster of workstations, and one or two Condor setups, including one I'm supposed to be getting on with - but for all the talk of linking loads of computing power together, these resources don't even seem to be shared across the campus. The PS3 thing has been done too, with actual PCs - but not on the scale of RR!
