Here's a little cool tidbit of info to help you with the assignment

"Overall, a single PS3 performs better than the highest-end desktops available and compares to as many as 25 nodes of an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer. And there is still tremendous scope left for extracting more performance through further optimization."

because of this PS3s are also used in research to simulate blackhole collisions by utilizing 16 of them linked together to perform supercomputer level calculation.

No I am not making this up. You can refer to here.

There was also news of a huge order of PS3s made by the US airforce to aid computer calculation tasks as well. You can look that up in google.
