Abstract

With the accelerated application of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the computing power and power consumption of chips are greatly enhanced, which brings severe challenges to heat dissipation. Based on this, Baidu has adopted advanced phase change cooling technology and successfully developed an innovative 3dvc air cooling scheme for AI server system. This paper introduces the design, test and verification of the innovative scheme in detail. The results show that the scheme can reduce the GPU temperature by more than 5 °C compared with the traditional heat pipe cooling scheme, save 30%+ of the fan power consumption, and achieve good cooling and energy saving effect.
