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 on Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: Englis h Language\n\nSession Chair: Nobuyuki Umetani (University of Tokyo) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_834&sess=sess121 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
