Cooperative Power Chassis -Standard connection by the top of the rack physical separation of water and high voltage

Hydraulic chassis Temperature of water in customer loop - Rack inlet temperature : 35°C max

- Rack outlet temperature depends on rack consumption - Typically for 5 chassis : 42°C

Water flow needed per rack - Controlled according to rack consumption

- Maximum : 4.5 m3/h (75 l/min)

The objective of the Mont-Blanc project:

to design a new type of computer

architecture capable of setting future global

HPC standards that will deliver Exascale

performance while using 30 times less

energy.

This project is coordinated by the Barcelona

Supercomputing Center (BSC) and is partly funded

by the European Commission.
