NTU new supercomputer uses water-cooled technology to save on enery usage
New supercomputers nowadays compete each other not only in terms of speed and accuracy of memory data but also of efficiency in using energy.
A new supercomputer is well-anticipated to be released at the High Performance Computing (HPC) Center inside the campus of Nanyang Technology University or NTU to sustain the increasing international research profile and capacity of the university.
NTU's new supercomputer is prototyped on the first IBM System x iDataplex group in ASEAN and controlled by the Intel® Xeon® chip 5500 series. It decreases electricity consumption as it automatically regulates recognized energy usage levels and specified processing speeds.
This new supercomputer HPC system optimizes performance with an exceptional water-cooled technology, an IBM's Rear Door Heat eXchanger for the iDataplex Rack. This technology reduces the necessity for in-house computer air conditioners, allowing for room temperature processing.
After a laboratory trial, the result is a lessening in electrical utilization and saving more than 30% when compared with the typical accuracy cooling system available in most supercomputers.
NTU's new supercomputer is ranked 6th as most energy-efficient in the world on x86 computer architecture, and ranked 29th as the most energy-efficient system on the list of Green500 at 274.64 Mflops (millions of floating point operations per second) per watt.
