Patent number: 12144148Abstract: Techniques for dynamically changing a pressure within a pressurized cooling system to thereby allow different cooling rates to be used to cool electronic equipment are disclosed. A pressurized cooling system cools electronic heat generating components using dielectric heat transfer fluid disposed within a two-phase immersion cooling container. This container is operable to maintain different pressure levels. The pressurized cooling system includes a pressure system structured to modify a pressure within the container. The system operates in a first state when the pressure is above a threshold pressure. The system operates in a second state when the pressure is at the threshold pressure. The system operates in either one of the first state or the second state based on an operating state of the heat generating component.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vaidehi Oruganti, Christian L. Belady, Husam Alissa, Bharath Ramakrishnan, Ruslan Nagimov

Patent number: 12135998Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for optimizing resource allocation on a computing zone based on bursting data and in accordance with an allocation policy. For example, systems disclosed herein may implement a lifetime-aware allocation of computing resources to facilitate computational bursting on respective server nodes to prioritize different aspects of performance on the server nodes of a cloud computing system. The systems described herein provide a number of benefits, including, by way of example, facilitating an allocation policy that enables more densely packing virtual machines on respective server nodes, boosting individual virtual machine performance, and reducing a buffer of empty nodes that need to be maintained on one or more node clusters. This may include more densely packing virtual machines on respective server nodes.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ioannis Manousakis, Husam Alissa, Ashish Raniwala, Ricardo GouvĂȘa Bianchini, Pulkit Ambikanandan Misra, Inigo Goiri Presa, Majid Jalili

Publication number: 20240260232Abstract: The discussion relates to cooling computing devices and specifically to managing two-phase cooling. One example can include a two-phase liquid immersion tank containing heat generating components and a liquid phase of a coolant having a boiling point within an operating temperature range of the heat generating components. The example can also include a stratification chamber fluidly coupled to the liquid immersion tank and configured to at least partially separate a gas phase of the coolant from other gases. The example can further include a condenser chamber fluidly coupled to the stratification chamber and configured to receive the gas phase of the coolant and cause the gas phase of the coolant to phase change back into the liquid phase of the coolant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nicholas Andrew KEEHN, Bharath RAMAKRISHNAN, Eric Clarence PETERSON, Husam ALISSA, Seth Henderson MORRIS, Ioannis MANOUSAKIS

Publication number: 20240206117Abstract: Examples described in this disclosure relate to waste cold recuperation in fuel cell based power generation systems for datacenters. An example waste cold recuperation system includes a liquefied gas storage for supplying liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a first set of compute resources configurable to operate in a first cryogenic environment. The system is configurable to supply at least some of the vapor phase of the liquefied gas as a coolant to cool a second set of compute resources configurable to operate in a second cryogenic environment, resulting in the at least some of the vapor phase of the liquefied gas becoming a super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas. The system is configurable to supply the super-heated vapor phase of the liquefied gas as fuel to fuel cells for providing electrical power to a datacenter load including compute resources configurable to operate in a non-cryogenic environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Ruslan NAGIMOV, Husam A.

Patent number: 11675400Abstract: A computing system includes a housing, processing circuitry, one or more additional components, and a cryogen evaporator plate. The housing includes a cryogen input port, a cryogen output port, and an interior chamber. The processing circuitry and the one or more additional components are in the interior chamber of the housing. The cryogen evaporator plate is thermally coupled to the processing circuitry and configured to receive a cryogen via the cryogen input port, cool the processing circuitry using the cryogen such that the cryogen is evaporated during the cooling of the processing circuitry to provide evaporated cryogen, and provide the evaporated cryogen into the interior chamber of the housing such that the evaporated cryogen is distributed over the one or more additional components to cool the one or more additional components.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Husam A.
