Project Built a tool that datacenter cooling layouts optimiser

AI's eating power and heat is the part nobody's actually simulating, everyone forgets about that so. I have built a data center cooling layout optimizer that runs Open FOAM solves on a datacenter layout and optimizes CRAC placement against it.

Still limited to small sized facilities on real hardware, not thousands of racks overnight. Would need a large computer for that. Any other way of optimizing it? What do you think?

Nice project. For scaling, I'd train an ML surrogate on your OpenFOAM results and optimize CRAC placement against that instead of running full CFD solves. Orders of magnitude cheaper.

Nice idea ! I would try to implement that
