Exascale computing advances with Dell’s liquid cooling tech [Video]

Exascale computing is no longer a distant concept, but a reality reshaping how massive computational tasks are approached.

However, this rise has brought new challenges, particularly in thermal management. There now exists a growing adoption of direct liquid cooling to manage the intense heat generated by powerful CPUs and GPUs, according to Armando Acosta (pictured), director of HPC product management at Dell Technologies Inc.

“If you look at the rise of exascale, what you’re starting to see now is with the rise of exascale and these large machines and HPC supercomputers, guess what? New challenges arise when you try to go to that scale,” Acosta said. “When you look at exascale, what it’s driving is more direct liquid cooling technologies. If you want the highest performance, you want the best CPU, or the highest performing GPU … you have to do direct liquid cooling.”

Acosta spoke with theCUBE Research’s Dave Vellante and Savannah Peterson at SC24, during an …
