As the AI era heats up, this startup has generated a novel way to cool data center microprocessors
- GemaTEG has developed a novel micro heat-pump architecture that works at the level of individual chips to precisely control the temperature of data center microprocessors.
- This micro heat-pump architecture can help supercomputer operators and AI platforms to address the challenges of computing performance and energy efficiency.
- GemaTEG's technology is chip-agnostic, and every chip in a server or data center can have its dedicated micro heat pump that independently controls cooling based on the specific workload and heat output of that processor.
- This approach contrasts with traditional cooling systems that cool everything uniformly and GemaTEG's system can improve chip performance by more than 30% while reducing overall energy consumption.
- The startup's thermal management system has won the renewal of its Efficient Solution Label from the Solar Impulse Foundation, recognizing approaches that are sustainable from a business and environmental perspective.
- GemaTEG has partnered with Italian aerospace and defense giant Leonardo to enhance the performance of the Italian company's DaVinci-1 supercomputer.
- GemaTEG has raised approximately $10 million in funding from various sources, including equity investments, grants, and bank loans and has approximately 15 employees.
- The team collaborates with EPFL-EcoCloud to develop next-generation thermal management solutions, and they plan to play a role in Leonardo's upgrade of its flagship Da Vinci supercomputer to a new Da Vinci 2 system.
- GemaTEG's unique approach to localized cooling can boost performance and reduce power consumption, positioning the company well to help tackle computing performance and energy efficiency challenges.
- The founders named the company Gematek, in part, for the first names of their respective children — Giulia, Elisa, Matteo, and Alessandro. Also, gemma in Italian means "gem."
