In this video from ISC’14, Nicolas Dube from HP describes the innovative cooling in the HP Apollo 8000 system for HPC.
Tailor-made for the HPC market, the Apollo Series combines a modular design with innovative power distribution and air- and liquid-cooling techniques for extreme performance at rack scale, providing up to four times more performance per square foot than standard rack servers.
In this video, Nicolas Dube from HP demonstrates the capillary heat pipe technology used in the HP Apollo. I came away impressed; the heat pipe was too hot to handle after only a second while the copper rod remained ice cold.
