Home & Office
It may be a bit overkill, but with those four cores working for you, nothing will stop the GIMP, Blender, and OpenOffice. The YDL PowerStation is the ideal replacement for the now aging Apple PowerMac G5 product family. All Linux code optimized for the former G4 and G5 systems will readily migrate to the PowerStation with little more than a basic recompile for the current kernel and libraries.

For Cell Broadband Engine development too, the PowerStation may be used to prepare and optimize code for Cell/B.E. systems. Yellow Dog Linux includes the IBM SDK, which is installed on the PowerStation by default.

Power Architecture Embedded Development Host
The PowerStation running Yellow Dog Linux may play host to an incredible diversity of system boards built upon Power architecture chips by IBM, Freescale, and AMCC. A mainstay of the HPC, game box, automotive, telecommunications, signal and image processing industries, over a decade of Power architecture chips share a common, compatible heritage to which the PowerStation's 970 cores belong and support.

As a development workstation for embedded systems, the PowerStation provides seamless code migration from host to target, reducing development cost and time to market. Developers may compile, test, and debug their code on the PowerStation and then quickly deploy finished applications on the embedded platform.

Cluster Head Node
The PowerStation may be used to develop code for and manage clusters built upon Sony PS3s or high performance IBM QS22 systems. The PowerStation may be used as a more than capable headnode for any cluster, x86 or Power, System p or Cell/B.E.
