Modern data centers require advanced cooling solutions to operate at peak performance. As one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world, data centers are changing how we develop new cooling technology at a record pace. The data center market is projected to continue growing by 8.5% per year over the next five years, to over $600 billion by 2029.* Artificial … [Read more...]
Condenser Array Design for High-Density Data Centers
Introduction In recent years, the power density of server racks has surged past 100 kW/rack [1] to support compute-intensive workloads such as artificial intelligence and data analytics. Cooling systems play an increasingly important role in enabling such densification improvements and in improving overall data center energy consumption, equipment reliability, and total cost … [Read more...]
Summary of the IEEE ITherm 2023 Conference
The IEEE Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm) was held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FL, May 30 – June 2, 2023. This was the 22nd ITherm, which was first held in 1988. The conference was historically held every other year until 2016 when it switched to an annual schedule. ITherm 2023 was sponsored by the … [Read more...]
Statistics Corner: Weibull Distribution
A little over a pandemic ago, the first article in this series on statistical analysis mentioned that a fundamental aspect of statistics is that one assumes a mathematical model that describes the distribution of a data set and then uses that model to estimate the probability that a given value or set of values will occur [1]. This allows us, for example, to estimate whether … [Read more...]
Machine Learning Optimization to Boost the Effectiveness of Phase Change Material (PCM)-Based On-Chip Passive Thermal Management
Written by: Dr. Amy Marconnet and Meghavin Bhatasana - Purdue University Although miniaturization of electronic components has helped advance computing power and accelerated technology development, it has increased power densities and exacerbated the already challenging issue of electronics cooling at the component level. Continuous operation at high temperatures degrades … [Read more...]
