   Using the coolant loop as a heat buffer cut chip energy on one test rig | Power and Cooling — 2026-09-14

   Two preprints published today: a scheduler that treats a sealed water-cooling loop as a short-term place to put heat, reporting up to eighteen percent lower graphics-chip energy per job on a single modified workstation; and a job-placement tool that improved carbon efficiency across five European sites while water-scarcity impact moved the wrong way. Both are author-reported, not peer reviewed, and neither is a facility deployment.
