[[Gaurav Khanna (physicist)|Gaurav Khanna]], a professor in the Physics Department at the [[University of Massachusetts Dartmouth|University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth]], built a message-passing based cluster using YDL and 16 [[PlayStation 3]]s. This cluster was the first such to generate published scientific results. Dubbed the "PS3 Gravity Grid", it performs astrophysical simulations of large [[supermassive black hole]]s capturing smaller compact objects.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://gravity.phy.umassd.edu/ps3.html | title= PS3 Gravity Grid | publisher = Gaurav Khanna, Associate Professor, College of Engineering, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth }}</ref> Khanna claimed that the cluster's performance exceeds that of a 100+ Intel Xeon core based traditional Linux cluster on his simulations. The PS3 Gravity Grid received media coverage between 2007 and 2010.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/news/2007/10/ps3_supercomputer | title= Astrophysicist Replaces Supercomputer with Eight PlayStation 3s | magazine=Wired | date=17 October 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9043942/PS3_cluster_creates_homemade_cheaper_supercomputer | title= PS3 cluster creates homemade, cheaper supercomputer | date= 24 October 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/22/AR2008122201980.html | title= Nothing Escapes the Pull of a PlayStation 3, Not Even a Black Hole | newspaper=The Washington Post | last=Peckham | first=Matt | date=23 December 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/090128-playstation3-blackholes.html | title= Playstation 3 Consoles Tackle Black Hole Vibrations| website= [[Space.com]]| date= 28 January 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100969805 | title= Playstation 3: A Discount Supercomputer?| newspaper= NPR.org}}</ref>
