A video game microchip may be the key to a system that
keeps aging commercial and military airplanes structurally
safe, GeorgiaTech's College of Computing plans to announce
Thursday.
The research is among several projects being unveiled this
week by an alliance of the institute's scientists and the
technology companies Sony Corp., Toshiba Corp. and IBM
Corp.
The work focuses on the Cell processor, which is the heart of
the Sony PlayStation 3 game console but also has been used in fields such as medical research and
oil exploration.
Georgia Tech's project plans to add to the list of Cell applications, first by developing software that
uses the chip and a network of sensors to monitor how a plane's components vibrate in flight.
