Dereje Agonafer: "Cooling Technologies for Data Centers — Challenges and Opportunities"

Dereje Agonafer, the Presidential Distinguished Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the| University of Texas at Arlington, gave a lecture as part of the Purdue Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series on December 3, 2020.

Data center cooling has never been more challenging as it is today with the thermal design power of the components rising significantly in the past decade. This power growth can be primarily attributed to advancements in high power CPUs and GPUs to support high power computing applications like AI and machine learning algorithms development. In this presentation, challenges, and opportunities in cooling technologies from evaporative heat exchangers, cold plate based liquid cooling, and immersion cooling will be discussed. At the end, challenges related to new packaging architectures and the impact on data center cooling will be addressed.
