Final 787 Test Aircraft Completes Maiden Flight
Despite being cut short by a liquid cooling leak, Boeing’s sixth and final 787 Dreamliner has successfully completed its long-delayed maiden deployment, program sources said. The aircraft, which is the second of two General Electric GEnx-1B-powered 787s, departed Boeing’s Paine Field in Everett, Wash., on Oct. 4 and lasted just over an hour with an aircraft recovery at Boeing … [Read more...]
Making Sure Your Chips Don’t Burn
Researchers at the Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork in Ireland have found a new way of cooling semiconductors in computers, mobiles and games consoles to improve their performance and reduce energy consumption. Most computers have thermal interface materials (TIM) to join the chip with the heat sink, with solder or a thin, film-like sheet. Solder is … [Read more...]
Purdue Moves Supercomputer to Portable Data Center
Purdue University is moving its Steele supercomputing cluster to a portable, self-contained, modular computer center. Companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft make significant use of quickly deployed, energy-efficient containerized data centers. But Purdue is one of the first universities to do so and to use HP’s “POD” (Performance-optimized Data Center). The … [Read more...]
