The Surprising Science Behind Everyday Products

August 27, 2014

One doesn't normally associate their favorite shampoo or laundry detergent with science, let alone multi-million dollar supercomputers, but in today's modern wo Read more…

Big Rig Redesign Still Going Strong

August 26, 2013

In 2011, South Carolina-based BMI Corp. worked with researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to develop a technology that improves the aerodynamics of long haul tractor trailers, thereby boosting fuel efficiency. Two years later, the company and the partnership are still going strong. Read more…

Ford Taps ORNL to Boost Vehicle Airflow, Fuel Efficiency

August 19, 2013

Anybody who drives one of Ford's recent vehicles spends a little less money on gasoline thanks to HPC work the carmaker undertook with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where more than one million processor hours were spent getting a handle on the complex fluid dynamics governing airflow under the hood. Read more…

Spider II Emerges to Give ORNL a Big Speed Boost

August 16, 2013

When the Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory morphed into Titan in 2012, it delivered a huge increase in computational power. Recently, the ORNL's parallel file system, called Spider, received a similar overhaul, and is in the process of emerging as Spider II. Read more…

Vampir Rises to the Occasion at ORNL

July 31, 2013

Researchers are licking their chops with the potential to speed the execution of parallel applications on the largest supercomputers using Vampir, a performance tool that traces events and identifies problems in HPC applications. Read more…

Exterminating at Extreme Scale

May 7, 2013

Since the first bug was eradicated from a Mark II system at Harvard in 1940s (an actual moth wedged in a relay, which drove the machine to a standstill) system exterminators have faced a constant spray of challenges. We talk with Allinea co-founder David Lecomber about challenges on Titan and Blue Waters--and the future of debugging exascale ... Read more…

Oak Ridge National Laboratory Helps Advance Scientific Discovery with HPC

January 9, 2012

<p>The impact of using supercomputers to solve complex calculations and simulate atomic structure behavior is tremendous, reducing some scientific research (such as this Germanium-72 experiment) from months to less than a week. In a short period of time scientists can now perform many more experiments and advance discovery in real-time.</p> Read more…

QCT QoolRack: An Optimized Liquid Cooling Solution for HPC/AI Workloads

Data center infrastructure running AI and HPC workloads requires powerful microprocessor chips and the use of CPUs, GPUs, and acceleration chips to carry out compute intensive tasks. AI and HPC processing generate excessive heat which results in higher data center power consumption and additional data center costs.

Data centers traditionally use air cooling solutions including heatsinks and fans that may not be able to reduce energy consumption while maintaining infrastructure performance for AI and HPC workloads. Liquid cooled systems will be increasingly replacing air cooled solutions for data centers running HPC and AI workloads to meet heat and performance needs.

QCT worked with Intel to develop the QCT QoolRack, a rack-level direct-to-chip cooling solution which meets data center needs with impressive cooling power savings per rack over air cooled solutions, and reduces data centers’ carbon footprint with QCT QoolRack smart management.
