This structure allows for the rapid recovery of a large amount of heat from the vicinity of the GPU by arranging thousands of fine channels in parallel. After absorbing heat at the heat-generating parts, the coolant folds back in a U-shape and flows to the outlet, preventing the cold and warm coolant from mixing and maintaining consistently high cooling performance. As a result, the GPU can be efficiently cooled even with coolant at a higher temperature than before, and by utilizing the temperature difference with the ambient air, heat can be efficiently dissipated, leading to an expected 30% reduction in the power required for cooling.<\/p><p>Moving forward, Hitachi will use this newly developed cold plate as a starting point and combine it with integrated control of cooling systems to further develop it as one of the cooling technologies that will bring out the full potential of its digital service, &ldquo;HMAX Data Center. By improving the efficiency and stability of data centers, Hitachi will contribute to the construction of a sustainable digital social infrastructure.<\/p><h4>\u3053\u3061\u3089\u3082\u304a\u8aad\u307f\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\uff1a <a class=\"p-url\" href=\"https:\/\/itbusinesstoday.com\/ja\/tech\/computing\/adobe-and-nvidia-expand-ai-content-creation-partnership\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">\u30a2\u30c9\u30d3\u3068NVIDIA\u3001AI\u3092\u6d3b\u7528\u3057\u305f\u30b3\u30f3\u30c6\u30f3\u30c4\u5236\u4f5c\u306b\u304a\u3051\u308b\u63d0\u643a\u3092\u62e1\u5927<\/a><\/h4><p>\u751f\u6210AI\u306e\u6025\u901f\u306a\u666e\u53ca\u306b\u4f34\u3044\u3001\u591a\u6570\u306eGPU\u3092\u5099\u3048\u305f\u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u306e\u6570\u304c\u5897\u52a0\u3057\u3066\u304a\u308a\u3001GPU\u306e\u51b7\u5374\u306f\u904b\u7528\u54c1\u8cea\u3084\u96fb\u529b\u52b9\u7387\u306b\u5f71\u97ff\u3092\u4e0e\u3048\u308b\u91cd\u8981\u306a\u8981\u7d20\u3068\u306a\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3002 \u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u3067\u306f\u3001GPU\u304b\u3089\u767a\u751f\u3059\u308b\u71b1\u306f\u30b3\u30fc\u30eb\u30c9\u30d7\u30ec\u30fc\u30c8\u5185\u306e\u51b7\u5374\u6db2\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u56de\u53ce\u3055\u308c\u3001\u30c1\u30e9\u30fc\u3084\u51b7\u5374\u5854\u3092\u4ecb\u3057\u3066\u5916\u6c17\u3078\u653e\u51fa\u3055\u308c\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001GPU\u306e\u6f14\u7b97\u3060\u3051\u3067\u306a\u304f\u51b7\u5374\u8a2d\u5099\u306b\u3082\u591a\u5927\u306a\u96fb\u529b\u304c\u6d88\u8cbb\u3055\u308c\u308b\u3002.<\/p><p>In recent years, there has been growing interest in high-temperature water cooling using coolants at around 45&deg;C. Using high-temperature coolants allows for efficient heat dissipation by leveraging the temperature difference with the ambient air, thus reducing cooling power consumption. However, with high-temperature water cooling, it is crucial that the coolant reaches the heat-generating components before it becomes excessively hot within the cold plate. Conventional cold plates typically have a structure where the coolant flows along the GPU surface, and because the coolant temperature rises towards the end of the flow path, it is difficult to uniformly supply low-temperature coolant to the heat-generating components.<\/p><p>\u3055\u3089\u306b\u3001GPU\u304b\u3089\u3088\u308a\u591a\u304f\u306e\u71b1\u3092\u56de\u53ce\u3059\u308b\u305f\u3081\u306b\u306f\u3001\u6d41\u8def\u3092\u3088\u308a\u7d30\u304b\u3044\u533a\u9593\u306b\u5206\u5272\u3057\u3066\u71b1\u4f1d\u9054\u9762\u7a4d\u3092\u5897\u3084\u3059\u5fc5\u8981\u304c\u3042\u308b\u3002\u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u6d41\u8def\u3092\u7d30\u304b\u304f\u5206\u5272\u3059\u308b\u3068\u51b7\u5374\u6db2\u306e\u6d41\u308c\u304c\u60aa\u304f\u306a\u308a\u3001\u5727\u529b\u640d\u5931\u3082\u5897\u5927\u3059\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001\u51b7\u5374\u6db2\u3092\u5faa\u74b0\u3055\u305b\u308b\u30dd\u30f3\u30d7\u306b\u3055\u3089\u306a\u308b\u51fa\u529b\u3092\u6c42\u3081\u308b\u3068\u3044\u3046\u8ab2\u984c\u304c\u751f\u3058\u308b\u3002.<\/p><p><strong>\u51fa\u5178\uff1a <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000087.000152541.html\" data-no-translation=\"\">PRTimes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hitachi, Ltd.&nbsp; has developed a GPU cooling cold plate that reduces the power consumption of data centers, which is increasing with the spread of generative AI.
