  • Patent number: 12144148
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12135998
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240260232
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240206117
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11675400
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230136452
    Abstract: The discussion relates to disaggregated computing. One example can monitor multiple two-phase liquid immersion tanks. Individual two-phase liquid immersion tanks can contain multiple components of a single type of component type. The example can receive requests for virtual machines and allocate sets of components from individual two-phase liquid immersion tanks to work together to support the virtual machines requests.

  • Publication number: 20230015461
    Abstract: Self-contained server assemblies for housing servers or server blades and associated computing facilities are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a server assembly includes an enclosure having an interior space housing a server blade, a dielectric coolant submerging heat producing components of the server blade, and a condenser assembly having a condenser coil in fluid communication with a vapor gap in the interior space. The condenser coil is configured to receive a coolant that removes heat from a vapor of the dielectric coolant in the vapor gap, thereby condensing the vapor into a liquid form to be returned to the server blade.
