Next generation of AI microprocessors and servers are pushing data center power densities toward the deployment of up to a 1MW rack or beyond, which is at a scale that redefines facility design. This talk presents a project at RISE with partners using server emulators to mimic future systems, enabling experimentation, testing and validation before hardware exists. The focus is building power and cooling infrastructure capable of sustaining up to 1MW per rack, from efficient powering, advanced liquid cooling to heat reuse strategies. The objective of the initiative at RISE is to build a demonstration that tackles the challenges of delivering such high power and removing heat efficiently, while minimizing energy losses.
With Tor Björn Minde, Director, Head of ICE Datacenter unit at RISE.
