  • Publication number: 20230276601
    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling a plurality of rack-mountable servers containing heat generating electronic components in a server room including a dielectric liquid cooling apparatus located inside the tank and a secondary cooling apparatus comprising a remote heat exchanger and at least one pump. The volume of dielectric liquid coolant comprises at least one passage in the tank that is outside of the vertically oriented rack-mountable servers. When the at least one pump is operated to move the dielectric liquid coolant vertically across the heat producing components on the vertically oriented servers, a circuit is formed in which a first portion of dielectric liquid coolant is moved vertically upward across the heat producing components on the vertically oriented servers and then downward outside of the rack mountable servers in the at least one passage, while a second portion of the dielectric liquid coolant flows out of the tank.

  • Publication number: 20210319145
    Abstract: A first address bus may be located in an upper layer of an integrated circuit that is associated with a memory and a memory controller. The first address bus may receive a first portion of a memory address. A second address bus may be located in a lower layer of the integrated circuit where the second address bus is to receive a second portion of the memory address. Furthermore, a data bus may be located in an intermediate layer where the data bus is to receive data corresponding to the memory address from the memory and may transmit the data to the memory controller. The intermediate layer may be between the upper layer and the lower layer. A layout of the signals of the data bus may vertically overlap with a layout of signals of the first address bus and a layout of signals of the second address bus.

  • Publication number: 20210056053
    Abstract: Described herein are technologies for application authentication and/or data encryption without stored pre-shared keys. In one resource controller, a processing device receives an application identifier (ID) from the application. The processing device provides a current nonce responsive to the application ID and provides the application access to the system resource responsive to determining that a hash of a current key received from the application equals a current tag. The current key is generated by the application based on code of the application and the current nonce. The current tag was previously provided from the application to the resource controller. The current tag can also be hashed by the application using the current key.

  • Patent number: 10624242
    Abstract: A computing system includes one or more rack rows comprising one or more racks. The racks includes one or more tanks that hold liquid coolant for at least one of the one or more servers, and a liquid coolant to remove heat from at least one of the one or more servers. An aisle is provided next to a rack row or between two of the rack rows. The aisle includes a floor. The floor can be walked on by service personnel to access at least one of the one or more racks in at least one of the rows. Cooling components at least partially below the aisle move a liquid to remove heat from at least one of the servers in at least one of the racks. The racks, floor and cooling components may be fire-resistant.

  • Patent number: 10607670
    Abstract: A first timing reference signal and a second timing reference signal are sent to a memory device. The second timing reference signal has approximately a quadrature phase relationship with respect to the first timing reference signal. A plurality of serial data patterns are received from the memory device. The transitions of the first timing reference and the second timing reference determining when transitions occur between the bits of the plurality of data patterns. Timing indicators associated with when received transitions occur between the bits of the plurality of data patterns are received from the memory device. The timing indicators are each measured using a single sampler. Based on the timing indicators, a first duty cycle adjustment for the first timing reference signal, a second duty cycle adjustment for the second timing reference signal, and a quadrature phase adjustment are determined and applied.

  • Patent number: 9756766
    Abstract: Embodiments that allow for the air cooling of disk drives associated with liquid cooled nodes are disclosed. A node for performing computing operations includes a frame, a power supply coupled to the |frame|[CB1], and one or more liquid coolant-submersible motherboard assemblies. The one or more motherboard assemblies are configured to operate when submersed in a liquid coolant. The motherboard assemblies are mounted on the frame with one or more spaces between. The spaces form one or more channels between the motherboard assemblies. The frame includes an opening on at least one end of the one or more channels.
