  • Publication number: 20220256744
    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a controller to cause a volume of an ambient of a two phase immersion cooling system to be modulated. The ambient is to include a condenser that is to emit fluid warmed by vapor in the ambient. The vapor is to be generated by heat. The heat is to be generated by electronic devices that are to be immersed in a liquid bath. The controller is to cause the volume to increase in response to a first temperature of the fluid approaching a first lower limit. The controller is to cause the volume to decrease in response to a second temperature of the fluid approaching a second higher limit.

  • Publication number: 20220217876
    Abstract: A method is described. The method includes monitoring a combined workload of electronic devices that are being cooled by a secondary loop. The method includes flowing a first portion of secondary fluid through the secondary loop's heat exchanger and bypassing a second portion of the secondary fluid through the secondary loop's heat exchanger. The method includes, in response to an increase in the combined workload of the electronic devices, adjusting a first setting of a valve to increase the first portion and decrease the second portion. The method includes, in response to a decrease in the combined workload of the electronic devices, adjusting a second setting of the valve to decrease the first portion and increase the second portion.

  • Patent number: 10846010
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for a thermal distribution manager to allocate multiple data portions of a data object to be written into a plurality of memory devices, as well as to restore the data object. The thermal distribution manager also reads some of the allocated multiple data portions from the respective memory devices. The allocation may include division of the data object and is based at least in part on respective temperatures of the memory devices prior to a write time and the reading and restoration is based at least in part on respective temperatures of the memory devices prior to a read time. The thermal distribution manager may allocate the multiple data portions according to a frequency of access of a first data portion relative to a frequency of access of a second data portion. Additional embodiments may be described and claimed.
