Editorial | Faster, stronger: on India and its supercomputer useThermal testing of these cold plates has shown that they can effectively cool microprocessor chips in supercomputers, successfully restricting temperatures below the safety limits, just as copper cold plates do. A team of researchers headed by Dr. Shany Joseph from CMET-Pune was instrumental in fabricating these cold plates in their lab. To address this issue, a novel clamping mechanism was developed to ensure that the cold plates remain intact without experiencing uneven cracking while fully loading the cold plates on live boards,” Mr. Badhe added. LTCC cold plates successfully restricted the temperature of the processor below the safety limit at full processor power with both flow patterns. The team is looking at further improving the design and functionality of the LTCC cold plates in the future.
