A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a thermal invisibility cloak that would improve heat distribution in electronic devices by redirecting incoming heat. The cloaks are capable of guiding heat around a hidden object, thus resulting in complete thermal invisibility. “Based on carefully engineered metamaterials – … [Read more...]
University Produces Smart Compliers to Assist Research During ‘Dark Silicon’ Era
Researchers from Lancaster University believe a ‘dark silicon’ era is rapidly approaching. This era suggests more than 80 percent of computer processors’ transistors will be turned off and ‘remain dark’ in order to prevent the chips from overheating. “Hardware design is rapidly evolving to prevent this need to 'power down' transistors and coming up with innovative solutions. … [Read more...]
Two Phase Cooling System for Data Centers
Ebullient introduces a two phase cooling system for data centers - the Ebullient Cooling System (ECS). It can cool up to 12 heat sources in series in a continuous loop while maintaining a device temperature of +/-2 degrees Celsius. It also offers flexible tubing which allows the system to adapt to hardware without modification. The cooling system “is composed of Ebullient’s ES … [Read more...]
Lithium Atoms Turn Graphene into a Superconductor
Physicists in Canada and Germany have proved that graphene turns into a superconductor when ‘decorated’ with lithium atoms, which could lead to a new generation of superconducting nanoscale devices, according to Nanotechweb.org. In 2005, physicists demonstrated that when chemically treated, graphite could exhibit superconducting properties. “Theorists identified the … [Read more...]
Comparison of HPC and Telecom Data Center Cooling Methods by Operating and Capital Expense Extended Article
Dr. Alexander Yatskov Thermal Form & Function Inc. Introduction Current high-performance computing (HPC) and Telecom trends have shown that the number of transistors per chip has continued to grow in recent years, and data center cabinets have already surpassed 30 kW per cabinet (or 40.4 kW/m2) [1]. It is not an unreasonable assumption to expect that, in accordance … [Read more...]
