“Huge success” is a pretty vague term, and we’re not going to leave you hanging. The purpose of this post is to share the data we’ve collected during the experiment, not do draw conclusions. This is just one data point about how this kind of pricing methodology can work, and we would need other developers to try it with different games and under different circumstances in order to be able to draw any real conclusions. One thing we can say for sure, is that a large reason this experiment generated so many sales, is the huge amount of press and blog coverage it got. We want to thank everyone who bought the game in the last week, and everyone who helped spread the word!

PS3Cluster Guide: By The Cluster Workshop

Our community guide allows you to set up your own MPI (Message Passing Interface) based supercomputer cluster with the Playstation 3. This guide was co-written by Gaurav Khanna, based on his previous work on the Gravity Grid and is a current run-time environment for the research of co-author (Chris Poulin), based on his current work in distributed pattern recognition. As such, we currently utilize the Fedora Core for this infrastructure and illustrate a "how-to" below. NOTE: We focus on the Fedora 8 distribution, due to prevalence of Fedora and its Cell SDK (3.0) compatibility. Finally, this content should be considered open source, and here is the license.
