Cascade Technologies is deploying direct contact liquid cooling from CoolIT Systems to increase their compute density by 2.5 times within their existing floor space, rack space and air conditioning capacity. “The upgraded Cascade cluster now combines over one hundred Dell C6100 dual processor servers across two racks with CoolIT Systems Rack DCLC heat exchanger solutions to … [Read more...]
Diamonds May Take Silicon’s Place in Future Smartphones
A startup called Akhan Semi suggests lab-grown diamonds can cool electronics more efficiently than silicon. Silicon costs a lot to keep cool, but lab-grown diamonds could eliminate cooling fans and heat sinks since they already eliminate 90% of the energy lost by silicon, according to Adam Khan, founder and CEO of Akhan Semi, the diamond-making startup. “Because a … [Read more...]
New Particle Creates Less Heat, Saves Energy
Researchers have discovered a new particle that doesn’t consume a lot of energy, and thus doesn’t require an elaborate cooling system. It is called the Weyl fermion, a particle that only exists inside materials and “moves through materials practically without resistance,” according to Nanowerk.com. In contrast to today’s computer chips relying on “electrons which are always … [Read more...]
