The possible benefits of waste heat utilization are uncertain and difficult to quantify with the methods that are common in practice. However, the practical implementation of waste heat utilization in the DC environment is a very challenging task. Reasonable utilization of DC waste heat, which is dissipated during the computational process, can potentially be an effective solution to mitigate the environmental impact.
The global energy consumption of data centers (DCs) has experienced exponential growth over the last decade, that is expected to continue in the near future.
