Iceotope to launch AI immersive cooling system
Iceotope in Sheffield is launching an AI immersive cooling system that supports up to 8 GPUs in a server to cut the energy requirements of data centres.
The KUL AI system can cut server energy usage by up to 40% for existing datacentres as well as the next generation of AI factories down to the edge of the network. The system will be launched at SuperComputing 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, next week.
The immersion cooled system uses a Gigabyte G293 server board with two Intel Xeon processors and up to eight GPUs. Gigabyte has certified the G293 with the Nvidia GPUs via the PCI Express Gen5 interconnect and the board is optimised for cooling in a dielectric fluid, allowing the fluid to move freely around the components. The uniform cooling across all heat-generating server components to reducing hotspots and improving overall efficiency. It also eliminates the need for supplementary air cooling, leading to simpler deployments and lower overall energy consumption. The server is powered by two 3kW power supplies with four hot swappable SATA SSDs and four hot swappable PCI Express 4 bays that are separate from the immersive cooling system.
Iceotope has worked with system integrators such as HPE and Schneider Electric on data centre cooling systems.
KUL AI is deployable in both data centres and across all edge IT installations, removing the need for server fans that can hit reliability. The system is sealed and protected at the server level, not only ensuring uniform cooling of all components on the GPU motherboard but also making it impervious to airborne contaminants and humidity for greater reliability. The Iceotope design minimizes the risk of leaks and system damage in critical environments.
“The unprecedented volume of data being generated by new technologies demands a state-of-the-art solution which not only guarantees server performance but delivers on all vectors of efficiency and sustainability. KUL AI is a pioneering product delivering more computational power and rack space. It offers a scalable system for data centers and is adaptable in non-IT environments, enabling AI everywhere,” said Nathan Blom, Co-CEO of Iceotope.
