GSI receives German Data Processing Centre Prize:

The GSI's new supercomputing centre "MiniCube" was awarded the "Deutscher Rechenzentrumspreis 2012" (German Data Processing Centre Prize) for its energy and cost saving concept. The concept includes cooling of the computer cabinets with water, so that practically no heat filters into the ambient air. Since additional ventilators are not required, the energy consumption as regards cooling is limited to a mere five per cent in addition to the computer's power requirement.
