Ferrari Deploys Windows HPC Server 2008

I’m sitting in my hotel in Barcelona (exhausted from a hard and long week).  BBC World is showing "Click", an IT show.  Ferrari are running Microsoft’s Windows HPC server 2008 for simulating aerodynamics.  Please, no jokes about Italian cars, oil on driveways and dodgy Windows 🙂

Ferrari say they wanted to do more with less so that’s why they wanted to go with HPC 2008.  MS says that HPC would be perfect for huge scale simulations for the financial industry.  The Beeb reckoned it might have been useful in Wallstreet not so long ago.

The Beeb reports that HPC 2008 runs on Cray super computers.
