Dissonance is a real time strategy game built on the Source engine.  You control a musical avatar who must battle for control of the airwaves.  Notes are your resources, and by playing them in time with the music you can summon units, build an army, and conquer the opposing musical faction.

My thesis project is a compiler and virtual machine for the PS3.  Each SPU on the PS3 will run an instance virtual machine, and scripted tasks will be dispatched to the different cores as their dependencies become met.  The goal is to make the concurrency of the PS3 SPUs more accessible by providing higher level language features that support the multi-core hardware model.
