The Deskside Supercomputer

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 43))

Abstract

State of the art cooling and electronic packaging technologies are distinguishing characteristics of supercomputers. The “deskside super computer” provides best-in-class computational performance by virtue of novel cooling and packaging technologies.

Chilling Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits for performance enhancement in Computing applications has been studied for decades. A synergistic evolution of critical technologies is occurring which promises to unleash this potential. Cost effective performance acceleration of Workstation class computers via below ambient cooling is now commercially viable. Technical challenges and important program consideration of cooling enhanced Computing are discussed in this paper.
