Four hot startups aim to keep AI data centers cool
Posted on August 24, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length short
Data centers consume up to one-third of their energy for cooling, driving demand for innovative solutions. Direct-to-chip cooling, a emerging technology, uses cold plates to target heat sources directly on CPUs/GPUs, improving efficiency and sustainability. Traditional cooling relies on large chillers and water systems, while direct-to-chip cooling attaches cold plates to processors. These plates use liquid or advanced materials to absorb heat locally, reducing reliance on centralized cooling and lowering energy use. By Heather Clancy.

How to run GUI-based applications in Docker
Posted on July 4, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Docker is commonly used for server-side and command-line apps. However, with the right setup, you can also run GUI-based applications inside containers. These containers can include GUI libraries and display tools, which enable apps to run in a secure and isolated environment. Docker containers can run GUI applications by configuring display sharing with the host system. This approach packages applications with their dependencies while maintaining isolation, enabling consistent cross-platform deployment without cluttering the host system. By Anees Asghar.
