GRC Deploys Liquid Immersion Cooling to One of The Nation’s Most Powerful University Supercomputers

With the installation of the ICEraQ^® Series10, the new Lonestar Supercomputer will be highly efficient and provide the cooling capacity for a system with a power density of 70 kilowatts per rack that is capable of performing at 3 petaFLOPS per second

AUSTIN, TX – January 31, 2022 – GRC (Green Revolution Cooling^®), the leader in single-phase liquid immersion cooling for data centers, today announced that it is providing the cooling infrastructure for a CPU-intensive computing system for the Lonestar6 supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).

Building off a nearly twelve-year relationship that includes cooling the GPU-intensive subsystem of their Frontera supercomputer — the 13th fastest supercomputer in the world — GRC’s ICEraQ Series 10 will provide the necessary cooling for a large part of the Lonestar6 supercomputer. Collaborating with partners Dell Technologies and Intel, Inc., GRC’s Series 10 will provide the cooling infrastructure for the Dell C6525 servers containing AMD EPYC™ CPUs. Lonestar6 is one of the top 10 fastest supercomputers at a U.S. university and three times more powerful than the Lonestar5 system it replaced.

TACC and GRC first partnered in 2009, when the two organizations validated the cost-effectiveness of liquid immersion cooling in both energy and operations. This latest deployment for the research powerhouse will host a 280 kW system, which has a reduction in server power of 10 percent from fan removal, and 2 percent cooling power overhead for the immersion system, yielding a pPUE of 1.02.

“We’re excited to be deploying GRC’s latest liquid immersion cooling technology,” said Tommy Minyard, Director of Advanced Computing Systems at TACC. “We have had a long partnership with GRC and we look forward to building off all of our successes by utilizing the Series 10 to power the new Lonestar6 supercomputer, enabling TACC to continue to be at the forefront of scientific research. In addition to providing the cooling capacity necessary, we will continue to reduce our facility’s carbon footprint through the use of liquid immersion cooling.”

Lonestar6 will enable researchers and scientists to conduct compute-intensive research utilizing a system that is at the cutting edge of science and engineering. Lonestar6 is dedicated to academic researchers throughout Texas and will serve as the main high performance computing resources for the University of Texas Research Cyberinfrastucture (UTRC) initiative.

“GRC values its longstanding partnership with TACC, and we’re delighted to once again provide the necessary cooling infrastructure to help power the important research being conducted by scientists and researchers across the state of Texas,” said Peter Poulin, CEO, GRC. “The deployment of the ICEraQ Series 10 will provide Lonestar6 with a highly efficient cooling infrastructure, enabling a consistent thermal environment while reducing the amount of cooling energy.”

Earlier this year, GRC secured the Data Centre World Innovation Product of the Year Award. The award recognizes GRC’s patented ICEraQ Series 10 immersion cooling system for its effectiveness in solving the problem of increasing heat loads in data centers and as a technology-based product aimed toward providing a brighter future.

UK’s ETL Awards Contract to GRC to Help Reduce Carbon Emissions in Public Sector Agencies Through the Implementation of Liquid Immersion Cooling for Data Centre IT Equipment

To help accelerate this initiative, GRC has established a UK subsidiary and will launch a Centre of Excellence in a London data centre

LONDON – February 9, 2021 — GRC (Green Revolution Cooling), the leader in single-phase immersion cooling for data centres, today announced that it has been awarded a place on the Essentia Trading Limited (ETL) Zero Carbon Delivery Framework, enabling any UK public sector entity the ability to acquire low and zero carbon infrastructure investments. GRC worked closely with its London-based European Agent Total Data Centre Solutions to be included in the Framework.

ETL’s Zero Carbon Delivery Framework provides a one stop shop allowing public sector entities such as hospitals, military, education, police/fire an expedited and compliant avenue for low and zero carbon infrastructure investments. And excitingly, UK Private and Listed companies are also able to utilise the ZCF to ensure best value. The Framework is no cost to access for public sector organisations and users can run mini competitions or directly award Trusted Suppliers. ETL is a subsidiary wholly owned by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and profits are invested back into the NHS. In 2018, ETL supported over 25 NHS Trusts with NHS Energy Efficiency Fund (NEEF) applications and the delivery of successful projects.

According to recent studies, data centres produce as much carbon as the shipping industry and unchecked, these emissions are projected to rapidly grow to 10% of the world’s global carbon emissions by 2030. Moreover, data centre energy usage has been compounded due to the greater reliance on data centre activity from increased teleworking and other virtual activities brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ETL’s Zero Carbon Delivery framework helps remove complexity and provides a faster route to market for technologies that will help meet sustainability goals,” said Alexandra Hammond, Sustainability Director at ETL. “We are delighted to work with companies like GRC who can enable data centre managers to move towards net zero carbon emissions.”

The UK has had its eye on carbon reduction for some time and to drive nation-wide carbon reduction, in June 2019, parliament passed legislation requiring organisations to reduce the UK’s net emissions of greenhouse gases by 100% relative to 1990 levels by 2050. ETL’s Zero Carbon Delivery Framework will provide access to the technology necessary to help meet this requirement.

“GRC is honoured to be part of ETL’s Framework to reduce the carbon footprint of public sector entities, while also contributing to their bottom line,” said Peter Poulin, CEO, GRC. “GRC’s participation in this initiative will allow data centre operators across the UK to increase energy efficiency, while also cutting their operating costs; it’s a win-win.”

To facilitate its relationship with ETL, GRC worked closely with its European Agent Total Data Centre Solutions (TDCS), a provider of mission critical infrastructure solutions with a focus on reducing the carbon footprint of data centres. TDCS will promote and sell GRC Immersion Cooling Systems. As part of the sales programme, TDCS will oversee product demonstrations and installations for organisations procuring GRC’s data centre immersion cooling through the Framework’s programme. “It was a challenge to introduce the concept of immersion cooling to the ETL team and then very rewarding when they agreed to let GRC bid for a place as aTrusted Supplier on the Framework. It was then a fantastic Team achievement to be awarded Trusted Supplier status. We look forward to many successes with the ZCF in the years to come,” said Brian Clavin, Director of TDCS. “Providing liquid immersion cooling for data centre IT equipment reduces an organisation’s carbon footprint, and significantly reduces IT operating expenses, while increasing IT capacity.”

GRC is the only Framework supplier offering Immersion Cooling for Data Centre IT equipment. To support this initiative and ensure that GRC’s workforce and partners in the UK have the necessary resources, GRC has established a UK subsidiary, Green Revolution Cooling – UK. Additionally, in the coming months GRC will be opening a Centre of Excellence in one of London’s leading data centres.  GRC’s UK Centre of Excellence will provide physical demonstrations of GRC’s liquid immersion cooling for data centre IT equipment and enable public sector data centre operators and other prospective clients to test drive GRC’s suite of products and assist Total Data Centre Solutions in familiarising its clients with this solution.

By removing thermal constraints, immersion enables simpler layout and removal of components such as fans and intricate chassis designed for air flow.

“What’s interesting about this expansion is the use of servers designed for immersion. Apart from the flexibility it provides us to get exactly the configuration we need, the cost savings that immersion cooling enables [on the hardware side] are extremely impressive.” Said Dan Stanzione, Executive Director of TACC. “Being early adopters of GRC’s immersion cooling system we have seen the technology mature rapidly over the years. And with the growing power and computing needs of AI and machine learning applications, especially with hotter and hotter GPUs, cooling is even more important for reliability.” He added.

As part of the new deployment, GRC will be joining the ‘Science and Technology Affiliates for Research’ (STAR) Industry Partners program. STAR offers opportunities for companies to increase their effectiveness through advanced computing technologies. The mission of this program is to promote a mutually beneficial exchange between industry and academia in advanced computing techniques and technologies, and at the same time foster a framework for technology innovation and support economic development in the state of Texas and across the nation. Through this program, GRC will collaborate with TACC to advance fundamental and applied research and development in the areas of science, technology, and engineering, among others.

“We are excited to see one of the leading HPC organizations in the world, and a long-running customer continue to expand their installation,” said Peter Poulin, CEO at Green Revolution Cooling “TACC has played a significant role in helping us improve our product and make it the mature solution it is today.”

This is the second custom cluster that GRC has announced in as many months, coming off the success of its custom cluster deployment at John Paul Catholic University. “Our goal is to make HPC more affordable. Offering lower cost, energy dense servers that take full advantage of our highly efficient CarnotJet cooling system is a huge benefit to our customers,” said Larry Stone, VP of Engineering at GRC “we are seeing a growing number of people opt for servers designed for immersion, over traditional big brand OEM hardware.” GRC will be showing off its immersion cooling system as well as its Minimus severs at the SuperComputing showing (SC17) in Denver next week (November 12-17) located at booth 1833.

John Paul Catholic University Adopts GRC’s Liquid Immersion Cooling for HPC Cluster

GRC provides John Paul Catholic University with turnkey solution that eliminates complexity and accelerates time to deployment. Fully integrated compute and cooling package enables JPCU to quickly implement state of the art computing cluster performance and efficiency

AUSTIN, TX – October 24, 2017 – Green Revolution Cooling (GRC), the leader in immersion cooling, today announced the latest installation of its liquid immersion computing system at John Paul Catholic University (JPCU) in San Diego, CA. The high density cluster made up of industry standard servers optimized for immersion, and built in partnership with Supermicro, exploit the enhanced performance and compelling economic value inherent with GRC liquid immersion technology.

“Virtually limitless cooling, industry leading efficiency, and lower upfront cost, made it an absolute no brainer for us,” said Kevin Meziere, VP of Technology at JPCU “the ability to cool over 100kW [per rack] effectively and efficiently, gives us the ability to be more responsive to future technology trends and adopt more powerful hardware without concerns of cooling capacity and costs. Being a downtown campus every square inch counts, so the ability more densely pack equipment is a huge win.”

By using the CarnotJet system, JPCU found a way to minimize upfront construction costs. By adding server capacity in previously vacant, unconditioned space they were able to avoid costs related to constructing an engineered building with raised floors, aisle containment, thermal engineering, etc. The CarnotJet system uses a dielectric liquid called ElectroSafe to cool the servers, eliminating the need for traditional air conditioning and the systems that support it. The adoption of GRC’s system resulted in JPCU reducing server energy usage by close to 20%, and cooling energy by over 90%.

“IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Virtual Reality are just a few of the HPC applications that are demanding more powerful systems. Many customers deploying these powerful systems have exceeded the limits of conventional cooling and are turning to alternatives, like liquid immersion. Further, we see customers seeking to eliminate complexity and increase their speed to deployment with a more integrated approach towards IT and infrastructure,” said Peter Poulin, CEO at Green Revolution Cooling “Our partnerships with OEMs such as Supermicro enable us to deliver those integrated solutions with a compelling economic benefit.”

JPCU employed the use of Immersion optimized, Minimus servers to cut hardware costs and create custom server configurations that align with their exact needs. Minimus Servers are designed to exploit the cost & performance benefits of immersion cooling and offer JPCU the opportunity to create a system expressly made for high density computing tasks.

The combination of industry standard components from Supermicro and the limitless cooling capacity of GRC’s immersion cooling system results in a cluster on the leading edge of performance and efficiency.

GRC’s Oil Immersion Cooling System at PIC Supports Data Processing
for The Large Hadron Collider at CERN

PIC in Barcelona, Spain shares key performance and reliability results from its immersion cooled data-intensive cluster.

AUSTIN, TX – April 19, 2017 – Green Revolution Cooling (GRC), a leader in immersion cooling, today announced key performance and reliability results from its installation at Port d’Informació Científica (PIC) in Barcelona, Spain. The ultra-efficient cluster installed in October 2015 has since been used to process dozens of Petabytes of data from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, and leading-edge astrophysics projects.

“The GRC system has beaten all expectations in terms of performance and reliability,” said Vanessa Acin Portella, IT Team Leader at PIC “We’ve had zero server or cooling failures in the 18 months that the system has been running.”

GRC’s oil immersion cooling system, as the name suggests, immerses servers in an oil bath. The mineraloil based coolant called ElectroSafe, is an electrical insulator with 1,200x the heat capacity of air, making it ideal for cooling IT equipment. There are several advantages of using immersion cooling over traditional air cooling, this technique eliminates the need for any type of air conditioning or specialized facility design for data centers. This reduces the upfront cost of building a data center facility, while reducing energy use by up to 50%. Apart from the cost savings, the system also helps improve server reliability by protecting them from hot spots, dust, moisture, oxygen, and vibrations.

Another key feature of the PIC facility is that it has zero water consumption. Data center water utilization has been a growing concern lately. Traditional air cooled data centers consume large amounts of water to support chillers and air conditioning systems. GRC’s immersion cooling technology, on the other hand, can eliminate water consumption by using dry coolers instead of evaporative cooling towers in most climates. “Water is the next frontier for data center efficiency and sustainability.” Said Christiaan Best, Founder and CTO of GRC. “Delivering waterless cooling around the year, is just another way we’re helping environmentally conscious customers [like PIC] achieve their data center and sustainability goals.” He added.

“The [GRC] system’s ability to support close to 50kW of IT load per rack, without any air conditioning, refrigerant, or water use is what made it attractive to us,” added Vanessa, “We had limited space, power, and cooling. GRC’s technology made it possible to add capacity in a storage area, while reducing power requirements by 30%.”

Given the superior reliability and performance of the GRC system, PIC plans to explore the use of custom whitebox hardware to further exploit the cost savings offered by the GRC System.

Liquid Immersion Cooling from Green Revolution Cooling helps Tokyo Institute of Technology Achieve Top Honors at Green500 Three Years in a Row

The latest Green500 list of most efficient supercomputers in the world was announced during the SC15 conference in Austin, Texas. For the third consecutive year, the Green Revolution Cooling-powered Tsubame-KFC supercomputer at Tokyo Institute of Technology has achieved top honors, this year ranking as the most efficient commercially available setup, and second overall.

AUSTIN, TX – December 2, 2015 – The results for the latest edition of the Green500 list of the most efficient supercomputers were announced during the SC15 (Supercomputing 2015) conference held in Green Revolution Cooling’s (GRC), hometown of Austin, Texas, last week. Tokyo Institute of Technology’s Tsubame-KFC super computer, running in Green Revolution Cooling’s oil immersion cooling system came out ahead of a number of past winners as the most efficient commercially available solution, and the second most efficient supercomputer overall. This is the third year in a row in which the system has received top honors on the list, previously being ranked #1 in November 2013, and June 2014.

“This is truly a great win for us, as one of our systems has steadily remained among the most efficient supercomputers for three years in a row. This is unheard of in the highly competitive and fast-changing world of HPC. Tokyo Institute of Technology is a banner customer and we will continue to work with them to break more records,” said Christiaan Best, CEO and Founder of Green Revolution Cooling. Both in November of 2013 and June 2014, the Tsubame-KFC (Kepler Fluid Cooling) system achieved the No.1 ranking on the Green500, also becoming the first supercomputer to break the 4 PFLOPs/W mark, ahead of its nearest competitor by over 20%. In this year’s edition, both of the top systems were immersion cooled, truly
exemplifying the power and efficiency of this method of cooling. While the Tsubame was cooled by Green Revolution Cooling’s mineral oil based ElectroSafe coolant, the RIKEN system was cooled with a 3M Fluorinert fluid in a custom cooling solution.

A recent white paper by Toshio Endo, Akira Nukada, and Satoshi Matsuoka of TI Tech, describes why the Tokyo Institute of Technology chose the GRC solution for the Tsubame-KFC and how the technology played a crucial part in helping TI Tech achieve record breaking efficiency:

“Ahead of overview of TSUBAME-KFC’s cooling technology with warm liquid (oil) submersion, we discuss the cooling methodologies; While submersion cooling has been deployed in the past in machines such as the Cray-2, the Florinate coolant utilized was extremely expensive, and moreover evaporated at low temperature of 56 degrees Celsius, and in fact the vapor was collected to be re-condensed, requiring airtight packaging.”

The complete white paper can be accessed on Green Revolution Cooling’s website at grcooling.com/learning-center/tsubame-kfc-immersion-cooled-greenest-supercomputer/.
