  Wouldn't the right way to go here be to make it use the PS3 graphics 
hardware, in a http://www.gpgpu.org/ kind of way? Or are the Cell 
processors on the PS3 graphics processors too?

  Of course if you are doing this for fun I'd like to see a Nintendo Wii 
port, just so I can play Super Mario Generalised Linear Modelling by 
waving the controller around.
