Ukusebenzisa i-Yellow Dog Linux, i-HELIOS iphendule i-PS3 ibe yiseva ephansi ye-Linux
U-HELIOS uye wakwazi ukuvula usuku lwakho lwansuku zonke, ngaphandle kwe-shelf PS3 ibe iseva ephathekayo ye-PS3 Linux. Bakhelwe ukuze i-Suite ye-Linux iseva ngeke isebenze kuphela ku-PS3, kodwa futhi isebenzise amandla weprosesa yeselula. Manje i-PS3 yakho ayigijimi kuphela imidlalo nama-movie ku-HD, kodwa futhi ingaba iseva ephelele ye-Linux.
I-installer yamahhala izotholakala kuwebhusayithi ye-UK yomthengisi.
Isebenzisa i-Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 njengesistimu yayo yokusebenza. Iphinde ihlanganise inguqulo ye-demo ye-HELIOS UB, uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-client client. U-HELIOS uthe ukholelwa ukuthi lesi yisikhathi sokuqala i-console yegeyimu ibe yesikhambi sevava yebhizinisi. Lokhu akusikho, okokuqala, okokuqala umuntu eqaphele ukuthi i-PS3 ihambisa ingxube ye-buck yakho ngaphezulu kune-PC-current gen gens. UDkt. Frank Mueller wakha iqoqo elimangalisayo elikwazi ukusebenzisa i-computing eliphezulu ukusebenza ngama-PS3s athengisayo.
I-HELIOS yakha ichweba le-PS3 hhayi nje ukukhombisa kodwa ukuletha okunye okubizayo kuzixazululo ze-server standard. Ngokusho kukaHELIOS:
Kuyinto evamile kakhulu ukuthi isofthiwe yebhizinisi isebenza ezindaweni ezibiza kakhulu, njengeziphakeli ze-IBM noma i-Apple Xserve. Kodwa i-PS3 inamandla okusebenza, futhi izosetshenziswa yiqembu lezokuthengisa le-HELIOS ukukhombisa isofthiwe kumakhasimende. Ngamasiphakeli alayishiwe ngokugcwele egijima ezinkulungwaneni zamakhilogremu amaningi, isiphakeli se-compact demonstration for £ £ 500 senza kahle.
Isitifiketi se-HELIOS esifakwe kwisithombe se-demo esinqunyiwe sinqunyelwe ukuthi sizosebenza ngamahora amane ngesikhathi, okuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi babone ukuthi i-HELIOS ingayenza futhi banqume ukuthi ukuthenga kuyakufaneleka noma cha. UDkt John Yardley, MD we-HELIOS umthengisi we-JPY Plc, wathi:
Kungase kubonakale sengathi umqondo owubuqili, kodwa u-pound for pound i-PS3 inikeza amandla amangazayo. Ngilindele abaningi abathandekayo be-Linux bazothola ukusetshenziswa okuhle kokufaka, okufaka amathuluzi anamandla afana ne-EtherShare ne-WebShare. Ukuthola i-HELIOS egijima epulatifomu kufana nokugxila injini ye-Spitfire ibe yi-Mini!
Isifakisi se-Linux senziwe ngokwezifiso ukuze sisebenzise kangcono imemori elinganiselwe etholakalayo ku-PS3. Ngokusho kwe-HELIOS, isithombe sediski sifaka i-Yellow Dog Linux ngemizuzu engaphansi kwemizuzu engu-10, ngokucushwa okuhloswe ukunikeza imemori engu-40% kune-config standard.
Lapho i-HELIOS ibona ama-tech specs we-PS3, ayazi ukuthi ukuyijika ibe iseva yayingeke ibe khona. I-PS3 isebenzisa iphrosesa yeselula engu-64-bit egijima ku-3.2 GHz, i-PowerPC ehambisana ne-256 MB yememori eyinhloko, futhi inokusebenza okufana ne-CP5 eyodwa. I-PS3 iza ne-NVIDIA RSX Graphics Processing Unit, ine-disk 60 GB 2.5 "swappable serial ATA disk" kanye ne-WLAN ne-Gigabit Ethernet yokuxhumeka kwenethiwekhi. I-Terra Soft ye-Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 ibhanana iyahambisana nokukhululwa kwayo kwe-Apple PowerPC yangaphambili umkhiqizo womkhiqizo kanye nokusekelwa okufanayo kweMicury Cell imikhiqizo kanye namaseva we-IBM Cell kanye ne-pSeries.
I-HELIOS ithi izinzuzo ze-PS3 Linux ukufakwa kwayo yi:
- Ukulandwa kwamahhala kusuka kuwebhusayithi ye-HELIOS
- Ukufakwa okulula, ukulungele ukusebenza emaminithini ambalwa
- I-Linux evelele kuma-PS3 amadokhumenti avela ku-HELIOS
- Isistimu yokusebenza yesiphakeli ezinikeziwe ngokusebenza okuhle (imemori engaphezulu engu-40% etholakalayo)
- Isikhathi sokuqalisa se-Java 1.5 senziwe ngaphambilini
- I-shell yesondlo elula kusuka ku-CD
- Izinsizakalo ze-HELIOS zifakwe ngaphambilini njenge-test drive
U-Sony akasaphinde aphendule isimemezelo. Ngicabanga ukuthi izinhlelo ezifana nalezi zibeka i-Sony endaweni enzima kakhulu. Akukho okuphikisanayo ukuthi njalo lapho ukusetshenziswa komdlalo we-PS3 kumenyezelwa akugcini nje kuphela ukukhiqiza umshini omuhle, kodwa futhi kufakazela ukuthi i-PS3 ngumshini onamandla kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, i-PS3 ngokwayo ngumholi wokulahlekelwa, okusho ukuthi u-Sony ulahlekelwa imali ku-PS3 ngayinye ethengiswayo. Yenza lokho kulahlekelwa emidlalweni, ezuzisa kakhulu inkampani. Ngakho-ke, uma othile ethenga i-PS3 futhi ayisebenzise njengesiphakeli esizinikezele, noma yimuphi omunye umsebenzi ongahlanganisi ukuthengwa kwemidlalo ye-PS3 noma ama-Blu-ray movie, u-Sony akalokothi abuyise imali yakhe.
