What they did was running a simplified, unrealistic model. It's still
a great spiking code AI benchmark, given that #1 of Top 500 has 16x
the performance, putting it into one realtime mouse, assuming (a
rather large if) country, or at least about eight slow mice.
Or one equally slow Algernon.

Despite 125 us latency (thanks, Sony, for virtualizing even the bloody
GBit Ethernet, and even more so for locking us out from the nVidia
chip, and the entire video memory) PS3 looks like a great system for
garage AI:

The nodes are power-hungry, but 65 nm structure shrink has already occured,
so second-generation PS3's can be quite interesting.
Of course, one could always wait for Barcelona, not many months away now.
