Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that performs low-temperature desalination. During operation, the system feeds cold saline water through a liquid-cooling system in a computer data center, wherein the cold saline water is used as a coolant, thereby causing the cold saline water to become heated saline water. Next, the system feeds the heated saline water into a vacuum evaporator comprising a water column having a headspace, which is under a negative pressure due to gravity pulling on the heated saline water in the water column. This negative pressure facilitates evaporation of the heated saline water to form water vapor. Finally, the system directs the water vapor through a condenser, which condenses the water vapor to produce desalinated water.

Abstract: A method for determining parameters for one or more air-cooling mechanisms for a computer system. A current operating temperature of a system component within a particular system is determined. A maximum operating temperature of the system component is obtained. A difference value between the maximum operating temperature and the current operating temperature is computed. A parameter of an air-cooling mechanism of an environment, which includes the system component, is selected and modified based on the difference value between the maximum operating temperature and the current operating temperature.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that intelligently migrates workload between servers in a data center to improve efficiency in associated power supplies. During operation, the system receives time-series signals associated with the servers during operation of the data center, wherein the servers include low-priority servers and high-priority servers. Next, the system analyzes the time-series signals to predict a load utilization for the servers. The system then migrates workload between the servers in the data center based on the predicted load utilization so that: the high-priority servers have sufficient workload to ensure that associated power supplies for the high-priority servers operate in a peak-efficiency range; and the low-priority servers operate with less workload or no workload.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that estimates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a server computer system. During operation, the system receives time-series telemetry signals that were gathered from sensors in the server during operation of the server. Next, the system estimates a power consumption for the server based on the received time-series telemetry signals. The system then multiplies the estimated power consumption by a time interval to estimate a power consumption for the server over the time interval. Finally, the system converts the estimated power consumption for the server over the time interval into an estimate for GHG emissions for the server over the time interval.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that controls cooling in a computer system. During operation, this system monitors a temperature of one or more components in the computer system. Next, the system determines a thermal-headroom margin for each of the one or more components in the computer system by subtracting the temperature of the component from a pre-specified maximum operating temperature of the component. Then, the system controls a cooling system that regulates an ambient air temperature for the computer system based on the determined thermal-headroom margins for the one or more components. In some embodiments, controlling the cooling system additionally involves minimizing a collective energy consumption of the computer system and the cooling system.
