Advanced cooling advances science — one university’s immersion-cooled, supercomputing journey
A Green Revolution Cooling case study
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) was busier than ever. As the designer and operator of some of the world's most powerful computing resources, the center had several thousand projects in the queue and needed to upgrade its already powerful Lonestar5 supercomputer to keep up.
But, in order to make the massive scientific leaps for which TACC was famous — in fields like quantum mechanics, astrophysics, photovoltaics, and biological research — major obstacles stood in the way: available space, power, and budget.
