How AMD's EPYC processors helped the Mercedes F1 team develop winning aero designs
'Having the best CFD on the grid is our aim. That obviously relates to the hardware that we are using''It's about trying to maximize the work that the CFD solve can do per clock cycle'
'EPYC was the front runner in delivering the performance and space saving we needed,' continues Williams. The Mercedes F1 team chose 2nd Generation AMD EPYC processors to replace the three and a half year-old system it had from another vendor.'We gained a 20 percent efficiency improvement on the old system. This is a big step because we're usually looking at one or two percent gains. The new system is allowing us to focus our effort on aerodynamic performance.
'If we miss even a few hours that puts us on the back foot, so it's important that these systems are robust and reliable. This is something that EPYC has delivered. The time scales are so short from initial idea, to CFD, to testing in the tunnel, and then into the car. It could be measured in weeks. The fact that we've been able to deliver consistently over the year has been key.'
'AMD EPYC processors have been a critical part of giving us a competitive edge over the others on the grid. It has been essential for winning races and championships. AMD has helped us meet the goal of faster iterative performance and cutting the time in half, thanks to 20 percent faster compute.' Mercedes has won the last eight constructor's world championships with its drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, winning the driver championship on all but one of those occasions.
