processors cooling
Photos: Inside a supercomputer lab
Photo The main supercomputer room at Oak Ridge has about 30 of these massive cooling systems. The Cray X1E is so power-intensive that it requires liquid cooling from 16-inch pipes installed in the floor underneath the supercomputer. [14 Jul 2008]
Scheduling to Overcome the Multi-Core Memory Bandwidth Bottleneck
White Paper Or maybe one doesn't have enough electrical capacity to feed them, or enough cooling capacity? Multi-core processors may be the solution. However, while multi-core processors may solve many of the problems associated with compute cluster sprawl... [08 Jul 2008]
Photos: Supercomputers signal when storms are a-brewing
Photo Hot air blasts through the grilles of the supercomputers like a hot air dryer, meaning the centre relies on some heavy duty cooling. Throbbing cooling towers stretch from the floor to the high ceiling in the computer hall to keep the temperature at... [06 Jun 2008]
Worldwide Server Power and Cooling Expense: 2006-2010 Forecast
White Paper The issue of power and cooling in the datacenter has become a top priority for IT executives. The resulting rise in power consumption has become a significant cost factor for the business' operating expense, while cooling capacity has become a... [31 May 2008]
Met Office forecasts blue skies for green IT
News But the biggest shift has been in computing, where water drawn from a local borehole will provide the constant cooling for its 600 servers and the NEC SX-6 supercomputers, with equivalent power of 8,000 PCs, that forecasts weather and maps climate... [09 May 2008]
Five Strategies for Cutting Data Center Energy Costs Through Enhanced Cooling Efficiency
White Paper Coupled with emerging technologies such as higher-efficiency processors and new chip-based cooling technologies, these measures can keep energy costs in line as server densities and the price of energy continue to rise. [26 Apr 2008]
Power and Cooling in the Datacenter
White Paper In fact, datacenters have become so complex - with so many interactions among processors, rack systems, power and cooling systems, storage arrays, networks, and communications channels - that they can be regarded as ecosystems, requiring only the... [14 Feb 2008]
TechNet Webcast: AMD-V and Microsoft Virtual Server (Level 300)
White Paper IT departments are facing increasing challenges in maintaining a computing infrastructure that stays within power, cooling, and space constraints. Server virtualization solutions are increasingly being deployed to significantly reduce costs... [14 Jan 2008]
The greening of IT: Cooling costs
Comment Critics say about half the energy used in an average data centre - enough to power a small town - is spent on cooling over-active processors. Last year, the BroadGroup's Power & Cooling Survey found that the average UK data centre spent more than... [21 Sep 2007]
Memory Sizing for Server Virtualization
White Paper We expect that this strategy will minimize cost because we avoid paying for unused memory and associated power and cooling. For workloads of this size, we believe that we can achieve high consolidation ratios of up to 15-20 to 1 using low-cost dual... [06 Sep 2007]
The greening of IT: Why less is more
Comment IDC estimates that for ever dollar spent on IT hardware, 50 cents are spent on energy, and by 2010 the total power and cooling bill for US data centres per year could reach $50bn. Intelligent cooling will cool only where necessary. [13 Aug 2007]
Introducing Quad-Core for the Data Center
White Paper Reduce data center cooling and energy challenges This narrated slide presentation outlines the benefits of Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors 5300 series, which are purpose-built to help you: Increase application performance [11 Jul 2007]
The Future Data Center - Part 1: Multi-Core Processors
White Paper Multi-core microprocessors promise substantially improved system performance with commensurately reduced power and cooling requirements. However, multiprocessor programming can prove a daunting activity and involve a learning curve. [26 May 2007]
Data centres struggle to keep their cool
News Given the increasing use of high density hardware such as multi-core processors and blade servers, excessive power and cooling demands could lead to a rise in server failures, according to Aperture Research Institute (ARI), a division of software... [12 Apr 2007]
US servers guzzle more power than Mississippi
News Among the touted fixes are energy-efficient processors, power consumption caps, water cooling and consolidation of work from numerous inefficient low-end servers to fewer more powerful machines. Servers in the US and their attendant cooling systems... [15 Feb 2007]
