Navigating the heat: Advanced cooling strategies for high-performance military computing
November 26, 2024
Advanced computing is revolutionizing defense platforms across all domains. Modern C5ISR [command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] and the tactical advantages it brings to the battlespace would not exist without the rapid advancement of compute hardware. However, the ability to deploy this hardware in rugged and extreme edge environments depends heavily on the effectiveness and reliability of cooling systems. Preferred methods of cooling like conduction and forced air are often insufficient to meet the thermal needs of these high-performance computers. Systems designers should be aware of both the advantages and challenges associated with next-generation cooling such as air flow-through and liquid flow-through. While each adds some additional complexity and risk to the system they are cooling, they bring enormous advantages in terms of cooling performance. Without implementing these higher-capacity cooling mechanisms, systems in the near future will not be able to take advantage of the latest processing hardware for critical edge applications.
