Portable blockchain mining systems and methods of use are discussed here. Systems include a portable building; a plurality of blockchain mining processors mounted within, or a plurality of blockchain mining processor mounts located within, an interior of the portable building; an air inlet defined in the portable building; and an air outlet defined in the portable building. Air outlets may be above the air inlet and oriented to direct exhaust air in an upward direction out of the portable building. A cooling fan may be connected to convey air through the air inlet, across the plurality of blockchain mining processors and out the air outlet. The cooling fan may simultaneously cool a genset and processors 72. Compact, stackable mining modules are discussed.

A system includes multiple buildings including a first building and a second building disposed in close proximity to each other. Each of the buildings has a first end configured to receive ambient supply air from an exterior environment and a second end configured to output exhaust air to the exterior environment. Each of the buildings contains multiple computing devices. The computing devices in each building are configured to generate thermal energy that is transmitted to the supply air, thereby heating the supply air into the exhaust air before the exhaust air exits that building. The first end of the first building is a closest end to the second building and the first end of the second building is a closest end to the first building. The first end of the first building and the first end of the second building form portions of a supply air corridor between the first building and the second building.

This invention describes the use of pre-packaged air shipping containers for delivery of edge data center equipment. The containers are capable of rapid deployment and positioning at the edge data center delivery site to minimize time between the order of equipment and deployment of a functioning edge data center. The containers allow for easy access, and rapid repair/replacement of modular edge data center equipment.

The disclosure provides a data center with high density server racks that are solely air cooled. A data center comprises a processor to use one or more computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to indicate a placement of one or more servers within one or more server racks to substantially maintain a temperature within the one or more server racks during operation without using additional cooling sources.

According to one embodiment, a containment system for an electronics rack that includes a top structure that is movably coupled on top of the electronics rack, a first side structure that is movably coupled to a first side of the electronics rack, and a second side structure that is movably coupled to a second side of the electronics rack that is opposite to the first side, each of the structures is arranged to move along an axis and at least partially beyond either a front end or a back end of the electronics rack creating a containment region that is at least partially surrounded by the top structure, the first side structure, and the second side structure.

A grate access floor panel comprising a support frame and a plurality of vanes supported by the frame, each of the plurality of vanes having an upstream end and a downstream end with respect to a direction of airflow across the plurality of vanes and faces that extend between the upstream and downstream ends, wherein at least some of the vanes have openings that extend through the faces thereof and have angled tips.

A data center including a housing forming an interior. The interior includes an air intake chamber, a plurality of computing devices, an exhaust chamber, and a thermal baffle. The thermal baffle is positioned between the air intake chamber and the exhaust chamber. The thermal baffle includes openings corresponding to computing devices and openings corresponding to coverings. The coverings restrict airflow from the exhaust chamber to the air intake chamber by way of the thermal baffle.

A method for providing for conditioning of a computer data center includes supplying a working fluid from a common fluid plane to a plurality of power/cooling units distributed across a data center facility in proximity to electronic equipment that is distributed across the data center facility; converting the working fluid into electric power and cooling capacity at each of the plurality of power/cooling units; and supplying the electric power to a common electric power plane serving a plurality of racks of the electronic equipment in the data center facility and being served by a plurality of the power/cooling units in the data center facility, wherein the common fluid plane serves at least 10 percent of the power/cooling units in the data center facility and the common electric power plane serves at most 5 percent of the electronic equipment in the data center facility.

Embodiments are generally directed apparatuses, methods, techniques and so forth to select two or more processing units of the plurality of processing units to process a workload, and configure a circuit switch to link the two or more processing units to process the workload, the two or more processing units each linked to each other via paths of communication and the circuit switch.

A mixing module may be used in a modular data center to provide cooling of air by mixing exterior environment air with warm air exhausted from information handling systems in other modules of the modular data center. The mixing module may include a mixing aisle that provides a low-impedance path for warm and cool air to mix and for a homogenous air mass for cooling IT equipment. The mixing aisle may be divided into two portions separated by dampers to allow for control over the mixing of air in the mixing aisle. The dampers in the mixing aisle, as well as dampers on an intake and exhaust from the mix module, may be controlled to obtain a desired temperature and/or humidity level.
