Apr 21, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) — ESIGF | news | PowerRating | PR Charts — ESI Group, a supplier of digital simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes, has announced that Audi has implemented its supercomputer to advance safety standards.

According to ESI, the new system is based on the company’s PAM-CRASH 2G simulation software and an HP Cluster Platform 3000BL system, providing 15.36 teraflop/s of computing performance for crash simulation models of Audi.

Very cool, check out this article talking about Audi using HP’s blade technology to provide it with a digital simulation solution, it does sound cool and it’s always good to see how the technology is being used. In this case it’s based on HP BL460c blades using infiband.
