For example, the Playstation 2 cluster that was recently assembled uses the GPU for its primary processing power, instead of the PS2's CPU.
Though the PS2 is much different from our computer, or an XBoX, it raises a point. When the GPU isn't doing anything, could it work in tandem with the CPU to boost processing power?
