This document describes Appro’s experience providing a supercomputer for the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at the ING Renault F1 Team’s technical centre in Enstone, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The solution is based on a balanced design using AMD Opteron™ processors and InfiniBand networking.

We will discuss the value of a balanced high performance computing (HPC) architecture highlighting the Appro Xtreme-X™ Supercomputer. In addition, this white paper highlights the need for scalable performance, power and cooling efficiency, and high availability computing in a redundant and manageable framework. The resulting system provides an advanced platform in which to create the ING Renault F1 Team’s car designs using CFD in a virtual wind tunnel.
