They may be able to reuse the hot water from the heat exchange inside the office building, but if they piped it out for home use, it probably wouldn't be hot anymore by the time it gets to the house. They could pipe it into the furnace room to heat the rest of the building in winter, or use the steam to generate electricity or something. Either way, it would definitely increase energy efficiency and save the company money.
@1994fergo This is not overclocked. It's built to run at 5Ghz, not 3.5Ghz with crazy voltage run ups, massive nitrogen coolers, and some nerd with 3DMark.. It's actually quite impressive, and eventually we will have them in desktops. Built in water cooling is a great idea, and at some point they will do this with video card processors. Imagine 10Ghz or more in a CPU and GPU heterogeneous co-processing computing model? Makes me jizz just thinking about it.
@djkitt i was not saying this IBM supercomputer is not impressive at all just commenting on the 5ghz thing. and i guess you are right to the fact it is the first computer (that i know of) to run at 5ghz on stock clocks
@djkitt And then the software developers will get lazy (again) and waste all that power so tasks you do will be done no faster than they currently are lol. Its kind of silly how hardware gets so much faster yet software gets more bloated and slower and you end up doing things as fast now as you did years ago. Let's hope software improves at the same rate!
@TalesOfWar I'm not sure I believe your theory. Software doesn't get bloated so much as it gets more complex. Take a simple program like Photoshop for example. Back in Ps4 we didn't have layers, brush engine, content aware, or layer blending. We couldn't because our little 133mhz processors and 16mb of RAM couldn't run that much. Today Ps12 (CS5) has better tools that get things done faster, and with better results. Look at the 3D industry's programs. Just look at FX today from the FX of 1998.
Well, I understand where he's coming from; it's not about adding features and capabilities to the code but allowing code to turn to spaghetti and relying on system power to counteract the code's inefficiency.
Definitely, new features and capabilities must be added to software to take greater advantage of more powerful system resources, but at the same time code should be refined to be as lean as possible so more system resources are left to do the work you want to do.
@Watcher3223 Yeah, I'm sure that happens. But a lot of software, like 3D packages and 3D sculpting tools have made leaps and bounds from the early 90's. Look at the difference in FX in movies from 1998 and the effects we have today. If all that software was just bloated crap we couldn't have come this far. The 3D industry becomes a totally different animal every 5 years because of faster machines and software that can utilize it. The computer has always been limiter, not the software or code.
Again, I don't believe software sophistication was the point.
I believe the complaint was about developers not taking steps to make sure the software code is as efficient as possible for the task that it's supposed to accomplish.
The concern may be lazy or sloppy programming with the excuse being that system power can work through the inefficiency.
And, I tend to believe that it's both software and hardware that can limit each other. After all, you can't have one without the other.

There would have to be an outside power source because electrical to thermal heat conversion back to electrical definitely is not even close to 100% efficiency. The only way there could be zero emissions is if it were to be powered by a zero emissions power source such as solar panels. Also the water would probably disperse a lot of heat to the pipes if you were to spread the water over that large of an area.
@Raleigh3000 Although it would greatly reduce the amount of electrical energy consumed by the computer and the neighborhood and therefore reduce the amount of fossil fuels and other energy sources that have to be used, thereby reducing emissions.
FLOURINERT will not only blow most of you internet kiddy's minds away, but will also chill better than IBM's method and has been for years and years and years. (obviously this is being kept from the mainstream market for a reason)
Not if its multicore processors. For instance if one CPU has 4 cores and u multiply that by 448, that comes up to 1792 cores..that's why it was once the fastest computer in the world. The now fastest computer runs on amd's 6 core opterons
There is a quantum computer running someplace already (forget which US academic institute has it). Same place that has the liquid that is almost at absolute-zero - when it gets to that no-vibrations state ( 0. ? ) they found the liquid took on weird properties, like it would move through the molecules in the container holding it, and 'leak' out.
Maybe IBM can use their atom stackers to build circuits immersed in a cooled substance too.
This is a very innovative idea. But I think it should be a legal requirement for all watercooled supercomputers that at some point in the water loop there be a neato, lit-up water cascade like the older Crays had.
haha, IBM is my favorite computer company in the world.. i have a little IBM eserver xSeries 335 server and i think of it as being my little super computer,, It would be soo cool to have one of these machines , but then again what would i use it for?? IBM ROCKS.. especially ibm + linux
Linux is very stable. If there is any instability with it, there is usually a solution found on Google and it is usually fixed very fast through the updates. Ubuntu's new edition, 9.10 is one of the most smoothest systems I've ever ran. You can run it on a CD on your computer to try it without installing it to see if you like it.
Hmm.. not that hard to use actually. Gnome (graphical interface) makes it simple, but the main problem I found with Linux is the incompatibility with some of the mainstream software.
i have something close to it but anyways i have 6 motherboards with 4 cpu's on each connected together working as one whole pc had lots of bugs but once you take care of it oh my god you feel like you are on top of the world. i ran 80 games on it and it only used 2percent of cpu resources.
I quote from the other video's comment reply i made to you:
"They do (probably nVidia Quatros or something) Even though they pretty much suck at gaming, you'd figure tons of them is better that 3x 9800GTX's or something..."
@1337AsianProductions Why would you think that? The water doesn't touch anything but the micro-fine pipes it's pumped through. No different then the water in the pipes that run from your reservoir or well into your home. It's almost the same as how your water heater works. Come on. I'm not even remotely smart and I understood how this works. We use this simple idea everyday, in homes, cars, and a million other ways. This is just much smaller and way more clean.
This is some great stuff it could change alot. but who the hell made a damn comment writing conspiracy theories!?!?!?! Youtube is not the place for that unless the vids about that MORON!!!

While cooling the chips with zero emmisions is a great process, the reality of transferring the heat to nearby homes is pretty far-fetched. The plumbing alone would be a massive undertaking, not to mention the heat loss. And what about EPA potable water metal requirements? More than likely it would be used within the same facility, or sent to waste. I like the idea though...
The potable water metal requirements (I'm not sure what this is, so I'm referring to contaminants in general in the water exiting the system/building) could be solved by having 2 (or more) closed-loop independent water systems. Basically in the same way that a nuclear reactor is cooled, or a water-to-water intercooler for a turbo or supercharger in automotive applications.
At least, I think that's what you're getting at. I could be mistaken in the point you're trying to make.
most likely the stuff going to the chip would be pure water (with additives to stop clogging) in a closed loop system and the heat would be transffered to a lower grade water system in an exchanger.... at least thats how I'd do it.
I bet that water would have to be pretty darn pure to ensure it doesn't clog. My guess is it would have to be distilled a few times before being put into the system. Also they must be planning on a certain amount of clogging.
Hey dummy, they're saying that it doesn't give off a harmful by-product like umm smoke!! Emissions are the product of something. Technically coal powered plants are emmissions..
This is Jeff Gluck at IBM and I helped make the video.
