Dual-Core Processing Revs Up Toyota's Virtual Wind Tunnel

Overview Toyota Motorsport's Formula One racecar designers rely on a virtual wind tunnel to analyze aerodynamics and predict how a given design will perform under real-life racing conditions. This case study discusses the processing requirements of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software that powers Toyota's virtual wind tunnel, and explains how a dramatic increase in computational power, fueled by Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, has enabled Toyota Motorsport to significantly accelerate its design-to-manufacture cycle.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
