Dear all, we are currently seriously looking into that (see my previous posting) and if I get the go-ahead the system should be running this summer.
We are planning to convert 5 clusters which will bring down the energy consumption from 41 kW (electricity, probably same amount again for cooling) to a mere 7 kW (including cooling) and more computational power due to newer hardware as well (Sandybridges). So watch this space for more information and pictures. :-) All the best from London Jörg On Thursday 28 February 2013 10:00:42 Hearns, John wrote: > I think this has been discussed here before, but it is a pretty innovative > product: > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/28/wet_servers_cut_cooling_costs_resea > rch_leeds_university/ > > Dr John Hearns | CFD Hardware Specialist | McLaren Racing Limited > McLaren Technology Centre, Chertsey Road, Woking, Surrey GU21 4YH, UK > > T: +44 (0) 1483 262000 > D: +44 (0) 1483 262352 > F: +44 (0) 1483 261928 > E: john.hea...@mclaren.com > W: www.mclaren.com<http://www.mclaren.com/> > > > The contents of this email are confidential and for the exclusive use of > the intended recipient.
