DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration i
 s required for either.\n\nThe latter part of 20th century witnessed the ri
 se of the compute utility made up of large-scale data centers housing dens
 ely-packed compute\, storage and networking equipment. In the cyber age\, 
 data centers became modern day factories requiring megawatts of power for 
 the information technology (IT) equipment\, much like the process equipmen
 t in a factory of the machine age. Electrical energy supplied to the chips
  and systems in the data centers turned into multi-megawatts of heat energ
 y which in turn required heat removal means. The active heat removal means
  also required power.\n\nWhile many innovative measures have been used for
  heat removal and energy management in data centers\, there is a substanti
 al gap in application of the fundamentals of engineering when compared to 
 the approaches taken by the contributors of the 19th and early 20th centur
 y machine age. As an example\, machine age contributors performed exergy (
 2nd law of thermodynamics) analysis and deemed it necessary to build a hyd
 ro-electric plant as part of the design of an Aluminum factory. Indeed\, t
 he majority of data centers today rely on the power infrastructure built b
 y our predecessors.\n\nGiven the inexorable trajectory of data centers str
 ongly driven by AI\, and associated demands on available energy\, it is ti
 me we returned to such fundamentals\, particularly given the environmental
  challenges. This talk will present a holistic approach that traces the en
 ergy flow from a power plant to a chip\, and from the chip core to the coo
 ling tower.\n\nSpeaker(s):  Chandrakant D. Patel\, PE\n\n925 Thompson Plac
