Love the liquid swagger Antonio!: "(others) still use fans to cool ...the system".. how last century is that! Malcolm Ferguson, Kevin Denton, Jason Zeiler, David Collins, Keith Bazarnick - great job with the script! let me just reprint it here too :) Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Antonio Neri says HPE’s “100 percent direct liquid cooling” prowess will be a key AI systems differentiator versus competitors with the release of Nvidia’s Blackwell GPU architecture. “When you look at the [Nvidia GPU] road map with Nvidia leading the pack and you go to [Nvidia] Blackwell [GPU architecture], Blackwell requires 100 percent liquid cooling,” said Neri in an interview with CRN. “HPE has more than 300 patents in that space. Also, HPE has one of the largest manufacturing footprints when it comes down to water-cooled [systems] including in t he U.S. and Europe. Our leadership continues to be validated in the Top 500 list [of most powerful supercomputers] and the Green 500 list [of most energy-efficient supercomputers].” The Blackwell GPU was unveiled in March at Nvidia’s GTC AI conference, with systems expected later this year. HPE has a big advantage in 100 percent direct liquid cooling versus competitors that are relying on hybrid liquid cooling, which still requires fans in AI servers, said Neri. “When you look at some of our competitors, they announced products that are direct liquid cooling,” he said. “The reality is they are what I call ‘hybrid,’ meaning 70 percent is direct liquid cooling and 30 percent is air-cooled. They still use fans to cool aspects of the system.”

And hopefully Server Inlet Temperature will be between 50-55 degrees C for optimal heatreuse

This differentiator for HPE is not something a company learns overnight. There is so much liquid management that has to go into it and that is only attained by iterating. Well done Antonio Neri and Bill Mannel. Your leadership in Exascale computing with the DOE Labs advances the technology for everybody.
