Dishwasher Analogy: How a GPU server (or data center) is like a dishwasher

By John Peterson | Sep 03, 2025

GPU server racks are the industrial workhorses behind AI training, scientific simulations, and real-time analytics.  To understand their operational footprint, especially in terms of water, power, and auxiliary systems, it helps to step into a more familiar setting: your kitchen. Let’s imagine a GPU rack as a high-end dishwasher.  This could be the quiet, energy-efficient […]

Strategies to mitigate millisecond-scale high load oscillations: lessons from large industrial applied to AI workloads

By John Peterson | Aug 29, 2025

Large industrial facilities such as aluminum smelting plants demand sustained, high-current power that can fluctuate rapidly and threaten grid stability. Managing the millisecond-scale power oscillations of large industrial loads and AI workloads requires a comprehensive strategy combining monitoring, grid-side damping, load-side conditioning, and operational coordination. Lessons from Alcoa’s smelting operations provide a blueprint. Adapting these […]

Immersion Cooling

By Scarlett Peterson | Jul 24, 2025

Immersion Cooling Immersion cooling is an advanced thermal management method that submerges computer hardware directly into a specially engineered, non-conductive liquid to keep it cool. Unlike traditional cooling systems that rely on air or liquid flowing through closed loops in pipes and heat sinks, immersion cooling works by allowing heat to transfer directly from electronic […]

Common Problems with Energy Audits

By Scarlett Peterson | Jul 18, 2025

Energy Audits An energy audit is a comprehensive, methodical investigation into how energy is used within a building, facility, or system. It’s not simply a once-over of utility bills or a checklist of whether lights are turned off at night—it’s an in-depth diagnostic process, akin to a full physical for a structure’s energy metabolism. At […]
