Vertical Thinking Broke Bottleneck in Powering High-Performance Computers
Princeton University, May 2, 2022 In Princeton Engineering
A team of researchers from Princeton University, Dartmouth College, Intel, and Google have developed a new method of power delivery that meets the needs of modern high-performance computers without sacrificing speed or efficiency. The method works with both small systems and large datacenters. The goal of the research was to deliver power to smaller areas to enable microprocessors to sit closer together, increase efficiency to reduce costs and prevent overheating, and quickly switch power among components to meet the demands of microprocessors. The researchers accomplished these goals by using capacitors rather than magnetics to process power, and by building the systems vertically instead of horizontally. Princeton's Minjie Chen said the result of their efforts is "a fully functioning system 10 times smaller than the best off-the-shelf." ... '
