you might find our google group helpful. http://groups.google.com/group/fireseed-fs3-omecc we have been collecting information for a year about using gpus and ps3s for Artificial Intelligence and Physics research.

Applied for membership; any reason why even reading through the posts needs membership-level access?

How much memory (on average) is your data point? Are we talking number crunching, only? I mean, no analysis on strings?

Strings come from a limited range and can be mapped to numbers. A data point can have upto 350 dimensions with an average of 5 bits per dimension.
