Formula 1 Racing - Linux

from News Forge bq. Formula 1 racer's secret: 1,000 horsepower and a Linux cluster bq. Aerodynamics are as important to modern Formula 1 race cars as they are to jet fighters. That's why the BMW Williams F1 team turn to a Linux cluster when they need to get a bit more out of their 3-litre, 1,000-horsepower, 1,320-lb. FW25 car. They are using Computational Fluid Dynamics to refine the airodynamics of the body. Cool stuff... Posted by DaveH at November 18, 2003 11:47 AM
