IBM blade touted as supercomputer for the masses
IBM has unveiled a new blade server based on the Cell chip that was originally designed to run a video game console.
The IBM BladeCenter QS22 runs the new PowerXCell 8i chip, a souped up version of the Cell processor jointly developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba to run large computations on the Playstation 3 video game system. Instead of running operating systems, the Cell chip takes on massive calculations, making it well-suited for video games or supercomputing tasks.
