Pasukan Formula One Aston Martin Cognizant Guna Computer Altair

Altair membolehkan penggunaan 97 peratus Infrastruktur HPC untuk mengoptimumkan pemprosesan yang intensif.

Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), syarikat teknologi global yang menyediakan penyelesaian dalam simulasi, high-performance computing (HPC), danartificial intelligence (AI), mengumumkan perjanjian perkongsian teknikal baru dengan Pasukan Formula Satu ™ Aston Martin Cognizant, yang telah kembali ke siri sukan permotoran paling berprestij di dunia untuk musim 2021. Jurutera Team Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One ™ menggunakan Altair Grid Engine™ untuk mengoptimumkan infrastruktur HPC pasukan dengan penyelesaian penjadualan dan pengurusan beban kerjanya.

Perlumbaan Grand Prix moden telah mengutamakan pembinaan kereta yang paling efisien menggunakan bahan bakar dan tenaga, dengan jumlah kos yang lebih rendah. Menentukan bahawa kecekapan berlaku jauh sebelum kereta memasuki trek, di mana pasukan menjalankan simulasi kompleks menggunakan persekitaran komputasi yang dioptimumkan.

Menurut Bill Peters, chief technology officer, Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team, di seluruh jabatan aerodinamik sangat bergantung pada pengkomputeran berprestasi tinggi untuk menguruskan beban kerja intensif merangkumi 10 terabyte data yang dihasilkan pasukan setiap hari. Penyelesaian Altair memberikan infrastruktur yang konsisten dan kuat, yang membolehkan mereka memperoleh kelebihan strategik dan prestasi dalam had 30 teraflops dengan mencapai throughput yang lebih tinggi, waktu menunggu yang lebih pendek, dan mengurangkan waktu downtime..”

MEDIA RELEASE

Altair Grid Engine empowers the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team engineering department to ensure the tens of thousands of simulations and other compute-intensive tasks are consistently and correctly sequenced and coordinated. It provides timely and efficient access to HPC, critical to powering simulations like wind tunnels, vehicle aerodynamics, tire performance, as well as fine tuning crucial design elements. HPC also powers full-car simulations, which creates a real-world simulator; allowing drivers like Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel to understand how design changes will impact race-day performance of their AMR21 cars. 

“The impressive Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team operates in an environment where every splitsecond counts, not just on the racetrack, but in terms of rapid and informed design decisions utilizing HPC,” said Sam Mahalingam, chief technical officer, Altair. “As Altair offers the industry’s most comprehensive HPC toolset, we are proud to be part of the story and will be cheering for the team over every lap of the Formula One season.” 

As a result of utilizing Altair Grid Engine, the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One engineering team’s overall work throughput is faster, the most urgent requirements and results are prioritized, and applications and resources are used efficiently. Altair has helped the team to:

• Achieve a sustained 97 percent utilization of HPC infrastructure
• Properly manage the 10 terabytes of data the team produces daily
• Gain strategic and performance advantages within Formula One’s 25 teraflop limits by achieving higher throughput, reduced wait times and downtime
