Innovative cooling methods for high-heat-flux microprocessors

The biggest limiting factor barring increased performance in today’s ultrafast computer systems is the ability to effectively remove the substantial heat generated by the microprocessors. The difficulty lies in the fact that such a large heat load emanates from a relatively small area of the system. The main objective of this project is to investigate and develop novel methods of cooling high-heat-flux processors. The expected results of this work are an increase in the amount of heat removed from processors and, thus, an improvement in the performance of processors and computer systems as a whole. This project will provide the intern with the opportunity to work on one of the most relevant contemporary problems of thermal engineering in the technology sector. Furthermore, the partner organization will benefit from the project by increasing the performance of their ultrafast computer systems.
