From the author: This paper describes the unique design features of this center whose goals included both being a model of high performance computing and a showcase for energy efficiency. The mild climate in Berkeley provides an ideal opportunity to minimize energy use through the use of free cooling but traditional data center approaches could not fully take advantage of the mild climate to save energy. A design that utilizes outside air for cooling for all but a few hundred hours per year is described. But in addition, there was a desire to provide for the eventual transition to liquid cooling--in various possible configurations. This capability is also described.
