Ferrari is taking the
new Windows HPC Server for a spin. Desk-side supercomputing is
now poised to revolutionise automotive design and engineering at
the firm.
The car manufacturer's sport department is one of the first
companies to test Microsoft's new high-performance computing (HPC)
system.
"Ferrari is always looking for the most advanced technological
solutions, and of course, the same applies for software and
engineering," said Piergiorgio Grossi, head of information systems
at Ferrari.
"We are always focused on scouting new technologies that can
give us a competitive advantage. Windows HPC Server 2008 is very
promising, and the long-lasting collaboration with Ferrari will
give directions to develop a fast, familiar, high-performance
computing platform for our users, engineers and
administrators."
