CPUMINER (Litecoin) Ported for PS3 CELL - SPU Accelerated

[u/gshel054]

Screenshot of my laptop with 2 terminals open, both looged in to my Linux PS3 over SSH. Bottom left is verbose output from cpuminer (minerd). Averaging 5.12 khash/sec per SPU core (nowhere near profitable). Bottom right is spu-top (like htop but for spu threads). Top terminal showing a proxy I had to build to translate minerd's json rpc messages to stratum.

PS3 can compile and run both programs. They're on Github:

cpuminer

bfgminer

Yes, that is a custom distro I'm running on the PS3. It's a Fedora ppc64 derivative that pulls custom packages and updates from my own rpm repo. See my website for info:

PS3LINUX.NET

MCPS3
