Optimizations in programming have mostly been associated with more efficient data structures or algorithms. Any optimization that uses hardware resources explicitly is generally considered premature, ...

Growing data center power demands are driving server end-equipment manufacturers to reach higher power-conversion efficiencies in order to reduce the thermal footprint of their systems. The transition ...

A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign team published research showing 3D-printed pure copper cooling plates could reduce data center cooling energy use from 30-40% of total power draw to just 1.1% ...
