The VPP5000 supercomputer will be located at Fujitsu's technical computing facility in Paris, France, and managed from the European Centre for IT in London, England. ESI simulates vehicle crash analysis with its Pam-Crash package, and computational...
Paavo Ahonen, project manager, from the Computer Unit of the Finnish Ministry of Education said: "The supercomputer will be used in research activities such as material physics, computational fluid dynamics and quantum chemistry.
The supercomputer's architecture has been developed by Switzerland-based Dalco while the software that supports the CFD analysis is supplied by a German subsidiary of US-based Fluent, a longstanding collaborator.
The BMW-Sauber Formula One team is making good use of its very own supercomputer, Albert 2, as it moves up the Formula One pecking order. A supercomputer can help us a great deal. Now we have a wind tunnel - that is fabulous - and a supercomputer.
Like other teams, Williams uses the supercomputer for Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation work which requires billions of calculations to be made to simulate airflow on a 3D virtual model. The AT&T Williams Formula One team has completed the...
Using a combination of computer aided design, wind tunnel analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) the team uses a supercomputer to deal with the data produced. The Red Bull Formula One (F1) team is using grid computing to boost development...
