How HPC Supports the 'Continuous Integration of New Ideas’ to Optimize Formula 1 Car Designs

The next BriefingsDirect extreme use-case for high-performance computing (HPC) examines how the strictly governed redesign of Formula 1 race cars relies on data center innovation to coax out the best in fluid dynamics analysis and refinement.

We’ll now hear how Alfa Romeo Racing (formerly Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team) in Hinwil, Switzerland leverages the latest in IT to bring hard-to-find but momentous design improvements -- from simulation, to wind tunnel, to test track, and ultimately, to victory. The goal: To produce cars that are glued to the asphalt and best slice through the air.

Here to describe the challenges and solutions from the compute-intensive design of Formula 1 cars is Francesco Del Citto, Head of Computational Fluid Dynamics Methodology for Alfa Romeo Racing, and Peter Widmer, Worldwide Category Manager for Moonshot/Edgeline and Internet of Things (IoT) at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
