moron alert?
Europe’s fastest supercomputer, call SuperMuc, will be one of the first facilities to use a hot-water cooling system. The hot water flowing in the cooling system can reach 113 degrees F.

Probably about trying to keep the temperature fairly steady eh?

Hot Water Cooling?
The phrase “hot water cooling” seems like an oxymoron. How can hot water possibly help cool servers in high-density data centers?
Although the data center community has become conditioned to think of temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees as the proper climate for a server room, there are many ways to keep equipment running smoothly with cooling technologies featuring significantly higher temperatures....
...Using a higher water temperature in a cooling system provides two benefits – it allows you to either use your chiller less, or not at all. Higher inlet water temperature maximizes the number of hours in which “free cooling” is possible through the use of water side economizers.

It's almost like a perfectly reasonable explanation would come along at some time, rendering Tsakali a complete moron for not doing his research in the first place.

Best part is, had Twatziki actually watched the video in his own link, he wouldn't have had to display his immense stupidity.

All bullshit aside, I did not know about this technology.
So thanks, tsak

I hadn't heard of this either, but it makes a lot of sense from a thermodynamics point of view. You're still rejecting heat to a lower temperature medium, plus you don't have to worry about condensation.
I didn't realize that these supercomputer clusters generated enough waste heat to be a viable source for heating buildings...fuck me!

I shit a brick when they mentioned heating the buildings with the leftovers...that's a ton of energy. And being put to good use.

iknowrite? because hot water is hotter than a CPU under load

Facebook's East coast server farm/data center is near here (boss pointed it out to me from the interstate on a trip to a client site recently), I wonder if they and Google are doing anything like this with the collective heat from their buildings?

Google's got some smart engineers on staff. Surprisingly, so still, does AOL

the company i work for has leveraged something at a slightly larger scale, called a 'flexpod cloud,' where 1,000's of tenants can share a common space in two racks of space. IT'S THE FUTURE
