| Summary: | In the face of increasing energy expenses, we must concentrate on implementing effective
cooling methods in High-Performance Computing (HPC) data centers. This study focuses on
optimizing the positioning of Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs) to enhance
efficiency and reduce energy usage. This study begins by conducting a thorough examination
of current CRAC placement procedures, and then carefully analyzes how these methodologies
affect the efficiency of cooling. A comprehensive examination of various CRAC designs is
conducted through a series of controlled tests using simulation models. The results provide
vital insights into the best method for placing CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units
in HPC (High-Performance Computing) data centers. This strategy has the potential to greatly
improve cooling efficiency, save energy, and reduce operational costs for data center
infrastructures. Data center operators can substantially enhance overall performance and
sustainability by strategically placing CRAC units, aligning with the increasing need for
energy-efficient solutions in high-performance computing |
