K80 Cooling – A Liquid Cooling Use Case
Summary
AWS now deploys NVIDIA Tesla K80 cards to run a variety of applications, including traditional simulation and modeling workloads typical in the HPC market as well as the training of neural networks in deep learning and GPU-accelerated databases. In fact, many recent inquiries and conversation points specifically revolve around administrators struggling to keep their K80 GPUs from overheating. In fact, there are specific liquid cooling technologies which are designed to work with the NVIDIA Tesla card. Ultimately, this helps optimize graphics processing, creates K80 cooling best practices, and supports advanced big data workloads. Ebullient cooling modules replace the standard processor heat sinks and are clamped in place through existing motherboard mounting holes.
