As NVIDIA continues to push the boundaries of high-performance computing, managing escalating power densities in data centers has become a crucial challenge. This keynote addresses the significant shift towards racks with power densities approaching 100 kW and the critical role of advanced liquid cooling systems in sustaining these high-density environments. We will delve into the implementation of both single-phase liquid and two-phase pumped refrigeration cooling techniques, examining their effectiveness in optimizing Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The presentation will highlight the transformative impact these cooling solutions have on enhancing energy efficiency and operational sustainability in modern data centers. Attendees will gain insight into the challenges and innovations shaping the future of data center infrastructure, poised to support the intensive requirements of high-performance computing. Additionally, the talk will delve into the role of NVIDIA Omniverse in creating physics-informed digital twins of data centers. This platform facilitates accurate simulations and real-time analytics, enabling data center operators to predictively model and optimize energy consumption and cooling efficiency across their facilities. By leveraging Omniverse, NVIDIA is setting a new standard in data center design and management, marrying high computational performance with environmental sustainability. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the strategic implementations that are shaping the future infrastructure of data centers, poised to meet the demanding requirements of next-generation technologies.
