I think you aren't aware about CFD simulation, available CFD software
and hardware requirements?

Here is a more exact description of such a system:

A cluster consists of 530 AMD Opteron 64-bit processors (AMD's here
can be replaced with Intel Dual-Core Itanium 2's), 1086 GBytes of
physical memory and more than 11,000 GBytes of storage. The cluster
utilizes SUSE 64-Bit Linux, integrated and optimized using a custom
cluster management software and best practices.

It is capable of performing 2,332,000,000,000 calculations per second.
The maximum data transfer rate between all the compute engines is 240
GBytes per second which corresponds to 400 CDs. The car's designs
require simulations of 1.3TB of aerodynamic data - the equivalent of
more than 70,000 volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

So basically a super computer.

And you know what, all the above just get some millisecond advantage
over other teams :)

All running Linux.

Full form?
