Advances in graphics processing unit (GPU) technology are moving compute power to whole new realms. A GPU from two years ago, such as the NVIDIA RTX 40 series, can deliver substantially less processing power than current models. Factor in gains in software, and the...

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is one of the most widely used metrics in the industry and is simply defined as the ratio of total facilities energy to IT equipment energy. It provides us a baseline to which we can measure against, but most importantly, it points us...

NVIDIA continues to turn out more powerful graphics processing units (GPUs). The company’s Blackwell chips feature more than 200 billion transistors and the high-speed interconnect bandwidth that AI workloads and hyperscale data centers require. Now, the NVIDIA Vera...

Whether you’re implementing hot aisle or cold aisle containment, modular or legacy containment, or soft or hard containment, the overarching goal is to prevent the mixing of cold supply air with hot exhaust air. How effectively you do this does somewhat depend on the...

For years, there has been a discussion about whether it is best to scale up the capabilities of a server or rack or scale out to distribute the workload across multiple servers or racks. Scaling UP within the rack or server means adding more CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and...
