Built In: The future of AI depends on solving this problem — and it’s not compute

Byline written by Vivek Swaminathan (DWS)

Unisys DWS Director of Products and Solutions, Vivek Swaminathan, writes that AI supercomputing is reaching thermal constraints as next-generation processors consume as much as 15,000 watts. Conventional air-cooling methods have become insufficient, necessitating the adoption of liquid cooling and predictive maintenance strategies. These advanced systems can reduce energy consumption by over 30 percent while also mitigating expensive downtime in high-density AI settings.
