Abstract
An electronic rack includes an array of server blades arranged in a stack. Each server blade contains one or more servers and each server includes one or more processors to provide data processing services. The electronic rack includes a coolant distribution unit (CDU) and a rack management unit (RMU). The CDU supplies cooling liquid to the processors and receives the cooling liquid carrying heat from the processors. The CDU includes a liquid pump to pump the cooling liquid. The RMU is configured to manage the operations of the components within the electronic rack such as CDU, etc. The RMU includes control logic to determine an optimal pump speed and an optimal processor clock rate based on a first relationship between cost of the electronic rack and clock rate of the processors and a second relationship between energy consumption of the electronic rack, clock rate of the processors and pump speed.
