Running LEDs in reverse could cool computers

The quest to find more efficient methods for cooling computers is almost as high on scientists’ agendas as the desire to discover better battery chemistries.More cooling is crucial for reducing costs. It would also allow for more powerful processing to take place in smaller spaces, where limited processing should be crunching numbers instead of making wasteful heat. It would stop heat-caused breakdowns, thereby creating longevity in components, and it would promote eco-friendly data centers — less heat means less impact on the environment.Removing heat from microprocessors is one angle scientists have been exploring, and they think they have come up with a simple, but unusual and counter-intuitive solution. They say that running a variant of a Light Emitting Diode (LED) with its electrodes reversed forces the component to act as if it were at an unusually low temperature. Placing it next to warmer electronics, then, with a nanoscale gap introduced, causes the LED to suck out the heat.To read this article in full, please click here

Ansible Networking: From Science Fair Project toward Mature Product

When I started working with Ansible networking modules they had a distinct science fair feel: everything was in flux, every new version of Ansible would break my playbooks, modules would disappear from one release to next, documentation was sketchy and describing the latest development code not a shipped release.

In the meantime, code, documentation, and release/deprecation management improved dramatically:

Intel unveils an epic response to AMD’s server push

Intel on Tuesday introduced its second-generation Xeon Scalable Processors for servers, developed under the codename Cascade Lake, and it’s clear AMD has lit a fire under a once complacent company.These new Xeon SP processors max out at 28 cores and 56 threads, a bit shy of AMD’s Epyc server processors with 32 cores and 64 threads, but independent benchmarks are still to come, which may show Intel having a lead at single core performance.And for absolute overkill, there is the Xeon SP Platinum 9200 Series, which sports 56 cores and 112 threads. It will also require up to 400W of power, more than twice what the high-end Xeons usually consume.To read this article in full, please click here

BrandPost: Introducing Wi-Fi 6 Access Points for the Most Demanding Mobile and IoT Environments

I am sure by now you’ve heard about the latest Wi-Fi technology, which is 802.11ax or Wi-Fi 6. We’ve been very active educating you about this standard for the past year. Please check out this blog series here.We’ve been building a portfolio of high-performance 802.11ax APs to meet a broad range of enterprise needs. Last fall, we introduced our first 802.11ax campus access point, the 510 Series, which is ideal for midsize mobile and IoT deployments.To read this article in full, please click here

Episode 48 – BGP Peering In The Real World

Internet BGP Peering relationships are a complicated mix of competing and complimentary motivations. In this Network Collective Community Roundtable we dive in to the world of public BGP peering to discuss how it works in the real world and when it might make sense for your organization to consider getting involved as well.

 

 

We would like to thank Cumulus Networks for sponsoring this episode of Network Collective.  Cumulus Networks makes networking software for the open, modern data center. It’s the only open networking software that allows you to affordably build and efficiently operate your network like the worlds largest data center operators. Cumulus Networks wants you to build something epic. Whether you’re scaling your data center network or designing the next “big thing,” you have your sights set on building something that matters. To do that, you’ll need to use the absolute best resources.
