SC26 – International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
About the event
The largest conference and exhibition on high-performance computing, networking, storage and analytics, relevant to facility engineers and system architects building HPC and AI infrastructure.
Who it is for / why attend
Technical programme and exhibition for HPC researchers, system architects and vendors. No data-centre facilities track is listed; for DC designers the value is seeing the hardware and networking needs of AI/HPC clusters first-hand.

ACS Door Heat Exchanger Requirements for Open Rack, Revision 1.0
Give rear-door HX catalog entries rated kW, fan power, coolant inlet temperature, flow, pressure drop and active/passive type.
- OCP Ready gear should meet ASHRAE Class A1 allowable conditions on the air side.

CPU Overclocking: A Performance Assessment of Air, Cold Plates, and Two-Phase Immersion Cooling
For high-heat-flux chips, compare the point at which air cooling throttles (here 3.3-4 GHz) with the clock-rate gain from cold plates or 2P immersion (41-51%) in cooling technology selection.
- Compared with air cooling, cold plates gave up to 41% and 2P immersion up to 51% higher CPU clock rates.
Data Center Knowledge 2024
Data Center Rack Density Has Doubled. And It's Still Not Enough
When a user places GPU servers in a rack, compute kW from server count and warn if the rack budget is exceeded (e.g. one DGX H100 = 10.2 kW).
- AFCOM average rack density: 6.1 kW in the first report, 12 kW in the 2024 report.
