High Speed, Low Cost Itanium 2-Based Clusters Accelerate Development of Formula One at Toyota Motorsport
Overview As an ambitious new entrant in Formula One racing, Toyota Motorsport needs continuously to improve car aerodynamics, boosting speed and road-holding power. Re-designs must happen quickly - during the season, 15 per cent of chassis specifications may change within two weeks. Toyota needed affordable high performance computers that could simulate complex full-scale design modifications overnight, rather than in several days as with existing systems. It was also seeking powerful, cost-effective platforms for enterprise applications and mobility needs. Toyota Motorsport is accelerating its product development cycle with a cluster of 160 servers based on 2-way Intel Itanium 2 processors.
