On April 23, 2024, at the Bitcoin Energy Summit held in Miami, Florida, Fog Hashing, a leader in liquid cooling technology, unveiled its cutting-edge immersion and hydro cooling solutions. The company's CEO, Paul, delivered a keynote speech titled "Cooling for The Compute-Intensive Era," delving into the potential applications of liquid cooling technology in the fields of AI and bitcoin mining.
Innovations in Liquid Cooling for the Era of Computational Intensity
Paul highlighted that with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and the surge in new computational power, we are entering a new era with extremely high demands for computational capabilities. In this era, the boundaries between AI computing and bitcoin mining are blurring, with both increasingly requiring advanced chip processes and energy. As AI chip prices decline, it is anticipated that AI computing and mining will tend to converge in the future, posing challenges to the existing data center model. Concurrently, the limits of chip manufacturing processes and the rising heat levels have made cooling technology a bottleneck for enhancing computational power.
Multidimensional Advantages of Liquid Cooling Technology
To address these challenges, Fog Hashing is propelling liquid cooling technology to become the standard for next-generation computing devices. Liquid cooling technology not only enhances system stability, increases computational power, extends the lifespan of IT equipment, and reduces energy consumption (PUE), but also decreases infrastructure costs and opens up possibilities for waste heat utilization. However, different liquid cooling methods are suitable for different scenarios, each with its own set of advantages and challenges.
Paul provided a detailed introduction to several mainstream liquid cooling technologies:
D2C (Direct to Chip) Cooling: Continues the design of traditional data centers, suitable for retrofitting existing server rooms, but faces limitations when dealing with multiple heat sources, often requiring a combination of liquid and air cooling.
Single-Phase Immersion Cooling: Offers a unified cooling solution for multiple heat sources, especially suitable for rapid deployment under extreme conditions, and has matured through practical experience in the mining industry.
Two-Phase Immersion Cooling: While offering stronger cooling capabilities, it faces high overall costs and challenges in developing an industrial ecosystem.
Hybrid Cooling (D2C + Immersion): Combines the advantages of both D2C and immersion cooling but also increases the complexity and cost of the system.
Fog Hashing: A Pioneer in Liquid Cooling Technology
As a pioneer in the industry, Fog Hashing provides the most reliable and cost-effective full-stack immersion and hydro cooling solutions for the bitcoin mining sector, along with customized, long-term services. The company is currently delivering the world's first large-scale container-based H100 immersion cooling project, marking a significant advancement in the application of liquid cooling technology in the field of AI computing.
Paul emphasized that Fog Hashing's mission is "to make computing more efficient, robust, and sustainable." With the converging trends of AI and bitcoin mining and the urgent demand for efficient, sustainable computing solutions, liquid cooling technology will undoubtedly become a vital direction for the future of computing. Fog Hashing is contributing to the new chapter of AI and mining by leveraging its innovative liquid cooling technology.
