Cabling is not the last step of an L12 deployment; it is one of the first architectural decisions. Every physical connection in an AI cluster is derived from the topology, which makes the topology the first bill of materials.
This white paper presents a complete design and validation framework for next-generation high-power double-wide racks.

This study proposes a heat-flux-based non-uniform straight-microchannel cold plate design for non-uniform chip heat loading. A preliminary parametric analysis at a fixed open-area ratio of 50% showed that reducing the wall thickness and channel gap below 80/80 μm caused a sharp increase in pressure...
The rapid scaling of AI workloads is pushing traditional copper interconnects beyond their practical limits in bandwidth density, reach, and power efficiency. Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) offers a path toward larger AI scale-up domains by enabling high-density optical connectivity beyond conventional...
