[SGVLUG] Parallel programming lab

Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone is interested in a parallel programming lab?

I have a ps3 running linux:

 and an nvidia card:
 charles at main-server:~] lspci | grep -i VGA
26:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 
8400 GS] (rev a1)
charles at main-server:~]

I also have an ATI stream compatible card.

Perhaps putting something like boinc in front of them and letting people 
submit jobs would be useful?

What if others put their ps3 or cuda/stream compatible cards into the fray?

If this is something people are interested in, I'm happy to host a 
blog/wiki/vpn (not exactly sure how boinc works need to read up on that) 
for it. Maybe I should do a presentation on the subject? Any slots open 
early next year?

I'm more of a sysadmin, but lately I've become interested in things like 
MapReduce, Hadoop etc. So I can setup infrastructure, and do basic 
verification jobs but need to learn more about the coding side of 
things. Anyone interested in participating?
