A new Linus Tech Tip video shows a real-world implementation of Supermicro storage servers powered by AMD EPYC processors to provide super-high reliability.

Supermicro recently announced that it has expanded its capacity and can now provide 5,000 fully integrated, liquid-cooled racks per month. 

Liquid cooling can offer big advantages over air cooling. According to a new Supermicro solution guide, these benefits include up to 92% lower electricity costs for a server’s cooling infrastructure, and up to 51% lower electricity costs for an entire data center.

The new 3Rs of green computing are reduce, reuse and recycle. 

Holistic green computing strategies can help both corporate and individual users make changes for the better.

ILM, the visual-effects company founded by George Lucas, is using AMD-powered Supermicro servers and workstations to create the next generation of special effects for movies and TV.

The modern data center must be both highly performant and energy efficient. Massive amounts of data are generated at the edge and then analyzed in the data center.

CERN is trying to discover what happened in the nanoseconds following the Big Bang that created all matter. It is manipulating data flows with custom AMD circuitry that slices up the Large Hadron Collider data into smaller pieces. “You need to get all the data pieces together in a single location because only then can you do a meaningful calculation on this stuff,” said Niko Neufeld, a CERN project leader. The effort entails rapid data processing, high-bandwidth access to lots of memory and very speedy I/O among many servers.
