Liquid Cooling v. Air Cooling Evaluation in the Maui High Performance Computing Center

This paper describes the efficiency characteristics of a water cooled information technology (IT) system applied in a retrofit project at the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC) data center. The installation of the water cooled system, Riptide, is the largest computer installation in the history of the MHPCC Department of Defense (DoD) Supercomputing Research Center (DSRC).
