Hi Urs, The original idea was to source a Sony PS3 and learn multi-core programming on a cell, but I heard recently (on the beowulf list) about NVIDIA's multi-core graphics chips and thought they sounded easier to program. (it sounds like NVIDIA already has a BLAS implementation available... http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda.html or http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla_gpu_processor.html)
