Faster simulation for smarter design with low carbon and compute costs
High Performance Computing (HPC) is the indispensable engine of modern automotive design. It powers everything from virtual wind tunnels to advanced AI optimisation to optimise the airflow over car bodies and wings, lightweight, crash-resistant structures and battery cooling. But behind the promise of speed lies a hidden, staggering cost.
A single, high-fidelity simulation (CFD or FEA) can easily consume over 10 million CPU hours, generating up to 53 metric tons of CO2e—the equivalent of seven people’s annual carbon footprint. Multiply that across a full development cycle, and the environmental impact is massive.
Qarnot offers a radical, patented solution to the HPC paradox. Instead of concentrating servers in wasteful, energy-intensive data centres, Qarnot distributes compute nodes into buildings that need heat—like offices, swimming pools and spas, and industrial sites.
This revolutionary approach reuses 96% of the waste heat, turning your most demanding simulations into a source of warmth rather than pure waste. This market beating performance delivers game-changing advantages:
- Up to 80% lower CO2 emissions
- Certified carbon reports for stringent ESG and CSRD compliance
Performance without compromise
Qarnot is engineered to handle your most simulation-heavy workflows—crash dynamics, complex aerodynamics, battery simulation, and massive AI-led design iterations. Get scalable, high-speed clusters on demand without the climate penalty.
- Optimized stacks: Full support for Ansys, OpenFOAM, Code_Saturne, and all your Bring Your Own License (BYOL) setups.
- Cost Efficiency: Up to 50% lower compute costs—with no hidden fees, egress charges, or restrictive vendor lock-in.
- Precision: Real-time diagnostics and smart scheduling to avoid wasted GPU/CPU time and keep projects on budget.
For motorsport teams, this means more iterations, faster development cycles, and measurable carbon savings that directly impact your brand reputation. For automotive OEMs, it’s a strategic platform for next-generation EV and mobility solutions.
Robust security protection
Your intellectual property is your most valuable asset. Qarnot ensures confidentiality through end-to-end encryption, a sovereign cloud infrastructure, and strict data isolation. Your sensitive assets are secure from simulation through to storage.
Aligning with F1 sustainability standards
The future of automotive is defined by sustainability. With Formula One racing toward Net-Zero by 2030, the industry is rethinking every component, from logistics to simulation.
As ESG and CSRD frameworks become mandatory, aligning with these sustainability goals is no longer optional—it is essential. Qarnot provides the verifiable, high-impact solution you need to meet the highest performance and sustainability standards.
