Volvo Car Corp., which has been using supercomputers for vehicle crash test simulations for years, has selected IBM to build a powerful, new Linux supercomputer for its safety tests.

In an announcement yesterday, IBM said the new machine, which is now in use, is made up a cluster of more than 150 IBM eServer 325s, each equipped with two Opteron processors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The Stockholm-based automaker didn't disclose the cost of the supercomputer.
