SUMMARY:Computational Design of Dense Servers for Immersion Cooling
DESCRIPTION:Technical Papers\n\nMilin Kodnongbua and Zachary Englhardt (Un
 iversity of Washington); Ricardo Bianchini and Rodrigo Fonseca (Microsoft)

 (Microsoft); and Adriana Schulz (University of Washington)\n\nThe growing 
 demands for computational power in cloud computing have led to a significa
 nt increase in the deployment of high-performance servers. The growing pow
 er consumption of servers and the heat they produce is on track to outpace
  the capacity of conventional air cooling systems, necessitating more effi
 cient cooling solutions such as liquid immersion cooling. The superior hea
 t exchange capabilities of immersion cooling both eliminates the need for 
 bulky heat sinks, fans, and air flow channels while also unlocking the pot
 ential go beyond conventional 2D blade servers to three-dimensional design
 s. In this work, we present a computational framework to explore designs o
 f servers in three-dimensional space, specifically targeting the maximizat
 ion of server density within immersion cooling tanks. Our tool is designed
  to handle a variety of physical and electrical server design constraints.
  We demonstrate our optimized designs can reduce server volume by 25-52\% 
 compared to traditional flat server designs. This increased density reduce
 s land usage as well as the amount of liquid used for immersion, with sign
 ificant reduction in the carbon emissions embodied in datacenter buildings
 . We further create physical prototypes to simulate dense server designs a
 nd perform real-world experiments in an immersion cooling tank demonstrati
 ng they operate at safe temperatures. This approach marks a critical step 
 forward in sustainable and efficient data center management.\n\nRegistrati
