Renault set to install new supercomputer
Renault is set to become the next Formula One team to turn to the powers of a supercomputer to help it move up the grid.
It has emerged that Appro, a California-based company, has won a contract to supply a high-performance `Xtreme-X2` supercomputer to the French team`s new CFD (computational fluid dynamics) facility at Enstone in the UK.
The computer, apparently increasing the team`s computing capacity by a factor of five, will be shipped and installed at the factory by the end of June, Appro confirmed.
BMW use similar systems with first Albert and more recently the Albert2.
