2、rticle February 2023Movement towards higher temperature envelopesEvidence of energy savings as a resultDecreased incidence of failure as a result But is this the full story?Raising temperatures a false economy?Enterprise servers,not OCP hardwareServer age variation 2012-2017 release date Primary var
3、iable is CPUAir cooled,not liquid cooledAiredale case study of LDEX DC3Assuming homogeneous racks of profiled serversModelling for enterpriseEnvironmental control:Temperature:15-35CPressure:0-25Pa Laminar flow at server inletBenchmarking with SPEC SERTVariation limited to 20-30C,aligns with ASHRAE r
4、ecommendedPressure tested at 0Pa and 20Pa(Compatible with Open Rack width equipment)First benchmark testing,published IEEE Profiling Results:EfficiencyEfficiency scores drop due to power increases,workload performance unaffected.Other factors coming into playEffects of temperature and pressure most
5、obvious at extremes of utilisation.2-6%more power due to temperature.Reduced by 2-4%by increasing pressure.Oldest server(R620 E5-2690)worse performer at highest temperatures.R640 Silver 4116(A3 class)performs best.Least change due to temperature but low performance.Server Metrics(CPU)CPUs stay withi
6、n recommended ranges,small variation in power and temperaturesServer Metrics(Fan)Fan speeds increase significantly at higher temperatures,less so with higher pressures.Changes in fan speed dont wholly reflect changes in power.Cooling and utilizationTemp raised from 21.6C to 28.3CAnnualised energy fo
7、r London Case Study DCIncreased IT load and deltaT offsets any gains in cooling in all cases.WC cooling always has a net benefit to raising temperatures DX cooling benefit depends on average utilisation.Net-positive energy possible.and then theres the rest of the worldCooling choices on climateWC co
8、oling is 30-50%of DX total power.BUTDX and WC cooling systems energy in response to increasing inlet temperatures differs depending on climate.Cooler Climates:WC systems benefit much more than DX systemsHot climates:Moderate benefit for DX systems and no benefit for WC systems.Servers efficiency deg
9、rades with increased heat:Fans arent wholly responsible for the increase in powerHigher differential pressures offset increased fan powerThe compute performance remains unaffected below 30CFactors contributing to overall DC energy change:IT Hardware Average utilisationCooling system technology Local climateTakeawaysThis stuff is not simple.Real world solutions require real world discussions.We will be giving a product demonstration of the machine learning software(Interact)at 4pm as part of the Future Technologies DemonstrationsWant to know more about the Benchmarking?Q+A Section
