reports on
the DaimlerChrysler purchase of 108 dual-processor Linux workstations from
IBM to run car-crash simulations. "
DaimlerChrysler has been using
computers to simulate crashes since the early 1990s, first with single
supercomputers, then with clusters of systems running Unix. Now the company
is switching to less-expensive systems with Intel processors running Red
Hat's version of the Linux operating system, DaimlerChrysler said."
