BitFury’s Allied Control to Reduce Energy Footprint For Chip Cooling
Allied Control is a Hong Kong-based technology company that specializes in building immersion cooling systems for supercomputing and data center applications. Allied Control has won the prestigious Green Innovations Award; the head of Hong Kong government even recognized the company for innovation in finding environmentally friendly industry solutions. BitFury, a leading Bitcoin infrastructure provider and Blockchain transaction processing company, recently acquired Allied Control with the intention of using the company’s immersion cooling technologies to help it reduce its energy....

Bitfury's Allied Control, a company that uses two-phase immersion thermal management for high-performance computing and data centers, received the Green Innovations Award for its potential in saving electricity and "billions of gallons of water" in the future. Allied Control was recognized by the head of the Hong Kong government for its energy-efficient two-phase immersion cooling system, which submerges electronic components in dielectric heat transfer liquids (better heat conductors than air, water or oil). The liquids vaporized from the chips are condensed and reused. According to a....
BitFury Group has signed an agreement to acquire Allied Control, a Hong Kong-based tech startup that provides cooling systems for supercomputing and data center applications. The move will make Allied Control a subsidiary and in-house special department of the bitcoin mining and transaction processing company. The deal has not yet been closed and is subject to customary conditions. Allied specializes in two-phase immersion thermal management platforms - a technology that could perhaps match the power and energy challenges posed by large-scale bitcoin mining operations. BitFury told....
BitFury, the Bitcoin blockchain infrastructure provider, has announced some great things this month. Early in September the company announced its 16 nm (application-specific integrated circuit) chip that will operate with the fullest proprietary immersion cooling technology implemented by Allied Control a company acquired by BitFury. Then, just this....
The process of mining Bitcoin is economically interesting from the energy point of view. Besides the problem with cooling of hardware, there is also the issue of the amount of energy that the hardware needs in the process of mining. There are developments taking place on the cooling issue, with some innovative solutions like immersive cooling. Bitcoin mining set in place a computing arms race which fuels interest in both cooling and energy generation. Densely-packed chips performing Bitcoin calculations are immersed in cooling fluid, which bubbles as it boils, removing the heat from the....
ASICRising, a German start-up is trying to find investors to produce a new high-performance microchip that it says would make bitcoin mining much cheaper and energy efficient. The process of mining is becoming increasingly expensive. While mining requires enormous amounts of energy to feed the computing power and cooling systems needed to get the hashing done, ASICRising happily says it has found a solution to this problem: an energy-efficient, low-voltage chip that together with specific software will reduce by more than half the energy needed to mine bitcoin.
