Abstract:
This description provides a system for recovering energy released by a computing unit. The system comprises a first computing unit that generates heat energy as the first computing processes information, an energy recovery unit configured to recover the heat energy generated by the first computing unit, and a second computing unit coupled to the energy the energy recovery unit. The energy recovery unit further comprise a pump configured to transport a working fluid to absorb the heat energy generated by the first computing device and a conversion device configured to convert the absorbed heat energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is passed to the second computing unit to supply power for the second computing unit to process information.
