Ars does produce some decent articles sometimes!

Particularly interesting is the bit about how much compute power they are allowed for CFD work and what they do to make sure they don't waste any of the meagre power they are allowed on disk I/O and the like. So they are limited to 25 TFLOPs of computation and only 25 hours a week in a wind tunnel.
