SUMMARY:Looking Beyond CDUs
DESCRIPTION:Austin Shelnutt and James Bryan (Strategic Thermal Labs)\n\nTh
 e recent rise in high-power AI processors has largely been made possible t
 hrough advances in cooling technology, with liquid solutions leading the w
 ay. Despite the extraordinary heat dissipation potential that liquid cooli
 ng provides to microprocessors, the global demand for compute performance 
 has already surpassed the capabilities of entry-level liquid cooling techn
 ologies due to the compounding challenge of higher heat flux coinciding wi
 th lower allowable processor temperatures. One response has been a growing
  effort to decrease facility water temperatures using less efficient metho
 ds such as mechanical chillers. As processor thermal resistance targets pl
 ummet, the coolant distribution unit (CDU) is becoming a significant contr
 ibutor to the temperature drop between the processor and facility water. I
 n this session we will examine the cost-benefit analysis of the CDU along 
 with the opportunities and challenges of removing it from the full data ce
 nter heat transfer path.\n\nTag: Facilities\n\nRegistration Category: Tech
