The Yellow Dog Learns to Drive

Black hole researcher uses PS3s, YDL

Terra Soft Solutions lent an innovative hand to the Axion Racing team with the introduction of a PlayStation 3 running Yellow Dog Linux, an integral component in the on-board, realtime image processing system. Axion's Jeep Grand Cherokee "Spirit" drives itself through simulated city traffic for the DARPA autonomous vehicle challenge, November 3, 2007.

IBM Cell Ray Trace Demo

The PS3 as a PVR

IBMers have developed "iRT", an interactive ray tracer running YDL on IBM Cell blades with a PS3 as the head node. It demos a car model 75x more complex than those used in today's games.
