High performance computing based holistic liquid cooled rack cost optimization

A method for determining optimal operating parameters for an electronic rack of a data center, the method comprising:

• determining, for an electronic rack having a plurality of server blades, each server blade including one or more servers and each server including one or more processors to provide data processing services, a first relationship between a cost of the electronic rack and a clock rate of the one or more processors of the electronic rack based on a performance requirement of the electronic rack;
• determining a second relationship between energy consumption of the electronic rack to perform a defined task, a clock rate of one or more processors, and a pump speed of a liquid pump of a coolant distribution unit (CDU) of the electronic rack;
• determining an optimized clock rate and an optimized pump speed based on the first relationship and the second relationship;
• and
• controlling the pump speed of the liquid pump via a pump controller based on the optimal pump speed and controlling the clock rate of the one or more processors based on the optimal clock rate.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations of determining optimal operating parameters for an electronic rack of a data center, the operations comprising:

• determining, for an electronic rack having a plurality of server blades, each server blade including one or more servers and each server including one or more processors to provide data processing services, a first relationship between a cost of the electronic rack and a clock rate of the one or more processors of the electronic rack based on a performance requirement of the electronic rack;
• determining a second relationship between energy consumption of the electronic rack to perform a defined task, the clock rate of one or more processors, and a pump speed of a liquid pump of a coolant distribution unit (CDU) of the electronic rack;
• determining an optimized clock rate and an optimized pump speed based on the first relationship and the second relationship;
• and
• controlling the pump speed of the liquid pump via the pump controller based on the optimal pump speed and controlling the clock rate of the one or more processors based on the optimal clock rate.
