“Pairing CoolIT’s Rack DCLC technology with Boston’s HPC servers allowed the team to divert more power for compute and less on cooling,” said Xu Guo of the EPCC team. “The student group was able to reduce the power required for cooling by removing a number of fans from the server and allocate more of their resources to compute nodes.”
“CoolIT is proud to have been a part of the success of the EPCC team,” said Geoff Lyon of CoolIT Systems. “Our partnership with Boston and the dedication of Xu Guo and her crew is what made the win possible.”
“Having participated in the event before, we knew that we had to raise the bar,” said David Power head of HPC at Boston Limited. “We engaged with CoolIT to improve our power efficiency by liquid cooling NVIDIA® K40 GPU’s. Boston optimized the air cooling to compliment CoolIT’s liquid cooling. This is another industry first for Boston demonstrating innovation, and driving efficiency in our solutions for customers.”
Today’s achievement is another reminder of the performance, density, and efficiency made available by Boston HPC systems.
