Introduction A transient thermal characterization, also known as a thermal survey, aims to characterize the location of greatest thermal inertia within a hardware system—that is, the location with the slowest temperature response to a given environmental stimulus. This manuscript outlines a methodology for developing a finite difference numerical model of a three-resistor, … [Read more...]
Direct Liquid Cooling for High-Compute Servers
In today's technological landscape, the demand for high performance computing continues to soar, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and complex simulations. As processors become more powerful, there has been a rise in the power draw of the servers. To increase the compute capability of the data centers, there is a constant push to increase the rack … [Read more...]
