AI chips are getting hotter. A microfluidics breakthrough goes straight to the silicon to cool up to three times better.
AIチップは熱を発生しやすく、従来の冷却技術では限界がある中、マイクロ流体技術を用いた新しい冷却システムが開発され、従来の冷却プレートよりも最大3倍の効率で熱を除去できることが示された。この技術は、シリコンチップの裏面に微細なチャンネルを刻むことで冷却液を直接流し込み、熱を効率的に取り除く。AIを活用してチップ上の熱の特性を特定し、冷却液を精密に制御することも可能になった。マイクロ流体技術は、次世代AIチップの効率性と持続可能性を向上させると期待されている。実験では、冷却プレートと比較して最大65%の温度上昇の抑制が確認され、データセンターのエネルギー効率や運用コストの削減にも寄与する可能性がある。 • AIチップは従来のシリコンよりも多くの熱を発生させるため、冷却技術の限界が懸念されている。 • マイクロ流体技術を用いた新しい冷却システムは、従来の冷却プレートよりも最大3倍の熱除去効率を持つ。 • 冷却液をシリコンチップの裏面に直接流し込むことで、熱を効率的に取り除くことができる。 • AIを活用してチップ上の熱の特性を特定し、冷却液の流れを精密に制御する。 • マイクロ流体技術は次世代AIチップの効率性と持続可能性を向上させる可能性がある。 • 実験では、冷却プレートと比較して最大65%の温度上昇の抑制が確認された。 • この技術はデータセンターのエネルギー効率や運用コストの削減にも寄与する。
