On XBOX 360?

Post by impossiblerubix »

Anyone here think that Folding@Home will every be on the XBOX 360? It could run off of the 360's GPU. It has a pretty powerful GPU.

Unfortunately, there are no plans for it.

It wouldn't be worthwhile. PowerPC performance is appalling, and there are no compilers available that can vectorize code on VMX128 (Xenon FPU is a bit different to the standard PPC970 - Xenon is missing about 20 Altivec instructions, but has additional 128 registers).

xbox360 is not worth the effort, there is a better link then the one posted about one of the previous xbox360 thread's, namely one which explains why 'device x' will not get a client in any case and that no matter the amount of threads on it that would not change ;)

It was a response on the amount of threads about this, so sometimes using search does help to answer some questions.
