AI and GPU operations are crucial for modern data centers, but they generate significant energy consumption and heat. A new SG$ 8 million project in Singapore aims to transform cooling solutions for these facilities to meet performance demands and global sustainability goals.
Data centres are crucial for the digital age but have a high environmental impact. In Singapore, they consume about 7% of the country’s total electricity, with cooling systems responsible for nearly 40% of that usage. AI and GPU-intensive tasks increase energy demands and heat, making it difficult for traditional cooling systems to manage effectively.
