Going Beyond CPUs: The Potential of Temperature-Aware Solutions for the Data Center

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Several recent studies have looked at temperature-aware architectures at the processor level. However, their potential has largely been unaddressed at higher levels of the system. This paper proposes a temperature-aware design for data center systems and solutions. This approach shows significant potential both in reducing the costs associated with cooling and in increasing system availability by avoiding failures due to thermal failover. The paper discusses the high-level architecture specifically focusing on modeling, measurement, metrology, and mechanism and policy design, and present preliminary results from a prototype implementation.
