Liquid Cooling: A Cool Approach For AI
HPE News, Monday, August 26th, 2024
HPE's cooling expert, Jason Zeiler, explains why liquid cooling is ideally suited to cool next-generation accelerators for greater efficiency, sustainability, and density in future AI data centers
- Next-generation accelerators will require more efficient cooling that traditional air-cooling cannot effectively address
- Liquid cooling efficiently cools compute-intensive systems while reducing carbon footprint by 87% and costs by 86% annually
- Organizations worldwide already reuse, or plan to reuse, recovered heated water from liquid-cooling for other energy needs
AI is one of the most compute-intensive workloads of our time. It's no surprise that power consumption and the associated energy cost of AI systems will go up.
Earlier this year, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that data centers, globally, used 2% of all electricity in 2022 and the IEA predicts that could more than double by 2026.
