Electronics densification is continuing at an unrelenting pace at the server, rack, and facility level. With increasing facility density levels, airflow management has become a major challenge and concern. In an effort to deal with the resulting thermal management challenges, manufacturers are increasingly turning to liquid cooling as a practical solution. The majority of manufacturers have turned to liquid-cooled enclosed racks or rear-door heat exchangers, in which chilled water is delivered to the racks. Some manufacturers are now looking to cold plate cooling solutions that take the heat directly off problem components, such as the CPUs, to get it directly out of the facility. This paper describes work done at the Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) under a Department of Energy-funded program titled "Energy Smart Data Center." An 8.2 kW (27,980 Btu/h) rack of HP rx2600 2U servers has been converted from air-cooling to liquid spray cooling (CPUs only). The rack has been integrated into PNNL's main cluster and subjected to a suite of acceptance tests. Under the testing, the spray-cooled CPUs ran an average of 10°C (18°F) cooler than the air-cooled CPUs. Other peripheral devices, such as the memory D1MMs, ran an average of 8°C (14.4°F) cooler, and the power pod board was measured at 15°C(27°F) cooler. Since installation in July 2005, the rack has been undergoing a one-year uptime and reliability investigation. As part of the investigation, the rack has been subjected to monthly robustness testing and ongoing performance evaluation while running applications such as High Performance Linpack, parts of the NASA NPB-2 Benchmark Suite, and NW Chem. The rack has undergone three months' worth of robustness testing with no major events. Including the robustness testing, the rack uptime is at 95.54% over 299 days. While undergoing application testing, no computational performance differences have been observed between the liquid-cooled and standard air-cooled racks. A sm

In this paper, we show how to speed up the Hessenberg QR algorithm for computing the eigenvalues of a dense complex nonsymmetric matrix using the CSX600 floating-point coprocessor. Our approach is based on the small-bulge multishift QR algorithm proposed by Braman et al. This algorithm can perform a major part of the computation in the form of matrix multiplication and is therefore very suited to high performance architectures. However, to exploit the potential of the CSX600, the number of shifts must be increased to more than two hundred. In that case, the parts other than matrix multiplication begin to occupy a considerable percentage of the execution time, thereby limiting the speedup. To solve this problem, we focus on two most time-consuming parts in the algorithm except for matrix multiplication: accumulation of bulge-chasing transformations and solution of a decoupled small eigenproblem. We reconstruct the former as a recursive algorithm and apply a blocking technique to the latter. This enables these parts to be computed also using matrix multiplication. As a result of these optimizations, we obtained up to 3.8 times speedup with the CSX600 processor over a 3.2GHz Xeon processor when computing the eigenvalues of a 12,000 × 12,000 complex Hessenberg matrix.

The positron-impact excitation of hydrogen atoms embedded in plasma environments is investigated using the close-coupling approximation from the low to intermediate energy region without including any positronium formation channel, and the excitation cross sections for 1s→2s, 1s→2p and 2s→2p processes are calculated in a wide Debye parameter range. The screening interactions, described by the Debye-Hückel model, decrease the coupling matrix elements, resulting in the reduction of the excitation cross sections from a few percent to one magnitude of ten. This will alter remarkably the spectroscopy of hydrogen in intensity and position, which should be considered in the simulation and diagnostics under some specific plasma conditions.
