Computing industry veteran John Brandon explains six new products and technologies that promise to solve real data centre problems or are already working to make enterprise operations run more smoothly. They include fiber optics with a twist, submerged liquid cooling and horizontal racks; several broadband lines combined into one; multiple data centers more easily connected; … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Contribute to Cool Silence
Silent-cooled graphics cards are becoming increasingly prevalent as PC hardware is becoming increasingly efficient. In silent cooling, a heat sink is installed in a model that engineers determine can remain safely cool without a fan. The heat sink pulls heat build up away from the graphics processor on the card, but since there are no moving parts involved in this cooling … [Read more...]
Series of Papers Illustrate Use of Thermal Simulation Technology in Design
NMB Technologies Corporation introduces a new series of informational engineering papers on how thermal simulation can aid, not only in the design of a system, but in anticipating the behavior of cooling components. In looking at the selection process of cooling components, in particular axial cooling fans, the first step for the engineer is to estimate the required airflow … [Read more...]
The Uses of Simplicity in Thermal Analysis
Bruce Guenin, PhD Editor-in-Chief, Summer 2010 Issue The dramatic trajectory of Moore’s law has produced a number of changes in key areas of technology that are critical to our industry: 1) greater packaging and system complexity; 2) increased power dissipation; and 3) enhanced software tools and computing performance. The first two we put into the challenge category. They … [Read more...]
Experimental Methodologies for Thermal Design in Silicon Validation Platforms
Rahima K. Mohammed, Yi Xia, Ying-Feng Pang, Ridvan A. Sahan Intel® Corporation Introduction Silicon validation platforms are purpose-built to validate processors, chipsets, and ASICs to ensure world-class quality and reliable products. These platforms are a crucial step in the process of releasing the silicon to market. However, due to growing complexities, it is becoming … [Read more...]
