Appro showcases supercomputing deployment for the ING Renault F1 team

Milpitas 17 November 2008 Appro completes the final deployment of 38 Tflop/s, Appro Xtreme-X Supercomputer for the new ING Renault F1 Team Computational Aerodynamics Research Centre. The supercomputer gives the Research Centre more computing power to run full-car aerodynamic simulations using CFD applications required for improving the ING Renault F1 Team's cars. A member from the team's IT department will present best practices on building a CFD supercomputer at the SC08 show, Appro booth number 1633. In addition, Appro product tours and supercomputing demonstrations will also be available.
