PING Teams Up With Cray Inc.
Cray Inc. the global supercomputer leader announced yesterday that the Cray XD1 supercomputer is now an essential part to the development of PING golf clubs. The XD1 supercomputer, made by Cray Inc., is able to process the preliminary testing of new golf clubs with greater detail in only a fraction of the time.
“With the Cray XD1 system, we can now run simulations in minutes that previously took several hours or even days on a generic workstation. The LS-OPT design optimization and probabilistic analysis package that we use to compute the best design features within specified parameters demands a complex simulation environment that can run jobs across multiple processors simultaneously. That level of computing would have been impossible on our previous system.”

Hopefully golf club manufacturers will be able to design more state-of-the-art golf clubs now that will revolutionize the game. Much like the Big Bertha.
