We may be the only people doing anything worth a s&*t on the PS3, so it'd be tragic to lose that effort now too. I'm spending my holiday weekend trying to refurb some machines to get them crunching. And they'll spend most of their time doing RC5-72. I usually do 1 OGR block for every 10 RC5 blocks.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think the Stanford folding project is far ahead on PS3 crunching.
I ran dnet for years on our departmental computers. I'm still fond of the project, but I switched things over to folding about a year ago. It seems like they are getting some good science out of it (49 papers listed to date). Add my family history of dementia and you can perhaps see why I'm going crazy on folding now.
