It's estimated that, from a figure of 0.4% in 1995, now about 30% of the world's population are 'internet users'. Not sure exactly what being a 'user' entails; looking at a web page? clicking a link? sending an email? Probably the latter considering how many I receive. The Romans used little wax or wooden tablets, the Victorians introduced a penny-post system, today we command … [Read more...]
LEDs; The future's bright and hot.
LED based lighting is now a very hot topic (believe me, in electronic thermal management circles that used to be funny, the first few times). Control of packaged IC junction temperatures will always have a bearing on reliability but for LEDs thermal also effects functional performance in terms of brightness and colour. The hotter they get, the dimmer they appear. A particular … [Read more...]
Technical Brief: Design Considerations for High Performance Processor Liquid Cooled Cold Plates
The meteoric rise in cooling requirements of commercial computer products has been driven by an exponential increase in microprocessor performance over the last decade. The conventional way to cool microprocessors has been to utilize air to carry the heat away from the chip, and reject it to the ambient. Air cooled heat sinks are the most commonly used air-cooling devices with … [Read more...]
The Increasing Challenge of Data Center Design and Management: Is CFD a Must?
Data centers have been cooled for many years by delivering cool air to the IT equipment via the room. One of the key advantages of this approach is the flexibility that it provides the owner/operator in terms of equipment deployment. In principle all that is necessary is to determine the maximum power consumption of the equipment and provide an equivalent amount of cooling to … [Read more...]
