Jordanian IT consulting company Al Oula has unveiled a 25-teraflop supercomputer based on Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) hardware. The 25 teraflops IMAN1 computer was made from 2,260 Sony PS3 games consoles, which are powered by the Power4-based Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) microprocessor designed by Sony, Toshiba and IBM, which also manufactured the units, and uses PowerPC-series microprocessors in its Unix servers. The project was started in January 2010 and turned on in October 2011 and is now in use at a local Jordanian university.
