- The synthetic diamond increases the dissipation of heat, outperforming copper by quintuple
- Akash Systems Diamond Cuiled Servers have GPU fan speeds and energy consumption
- Thermal limitation is also reduced, allowing GPUs to maintain maximum performance workloads
Diamond has potentially become the next great innovation in the cooling of the GPU, promising transformative improvements to performance and efficiency of the servers of the Center of Hyp[erscalerexecuting[Erscalerexécutantdesoutilsd’IA[erscalerdatacenterserversrunningAItools
The servers “cooled by diamond” of Akash systems reduce the temperatures of the hot spots of the GPU in Nvidia and AMD systems which already use liquid cooling technologies advanced by an impressive 10 ° -20 ° C.
The company’s diamond cooling technology is designed to complete existing thermal solutions, such as liquid immersion cooling. It incorporates a synthetic diamond, a material five times more thermal driver than copper.
NXTGEN adopts AKASH technology, reducing IA calculation costs by 50%.
Based on Akash’s previous success in using diamond cooling for satellite applications, accelerated heat dissipation cooled by diamond should prove to be vital for GPUs, where operating temperatures often exceed 90 ° -100 ° C. In practice, this could allow GPUs to operate beyond their usual limits, reaching up to 25% of overclocking capacities.
The servers also increase the energy efficiency of the AI by reducing the speeds of the GPU fan by 50%, which leads to a reduction of 90% of the energy consumption of the fan. In addition, the server’s lifestyles are actually doubled, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs while considerably reducing thermal limitation.
In December 2024, Akash obtained a $ 27 million contract to deploy its cooled cooled servers in NXTGEN DATACENTERS in India. Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, underlined the role of technology in accelerating the workloads of AI, describing the servers cooled by diamond as “way to follow”. This partnership follows the approval of Akash Systems for funding up to 68 million dollars under the Chips and Science Act by the American Department of Commerce.
“Our diamond-cooled GPU servers will allow NXTGEN to provide unrivaled performance and reliability towards their customers, strengthening their leader in AI and other calculation solutions,” said Felix Ejeckam, PDG and co-founder of Akash Systems at the time.
“Thanks to a combination of Akash diamond cooling, liquid cooling without water and advanced GPUs of Nvidia and AMD, we are able to double the performance by Watt,” said CEO and general manager of NXTGEN, as Rajgopal.
“This allows us to reduce the cost to our customers and reduce the cost of AI calculation services by more than 50% of the market rates in force and allow us to provide cases of use of AI at very high value to our customers.”
