This World Heart Day, together, the National Forum for Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention and AstraZeneca will bring attention to the importance of cholesterol administration and cardiovascular disease.

High cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease.

  • High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, so you may not know that your cholesterol is too high for you
  • Seventy-one million American adults (34%) have levels of LDL-C (bad cholesterol) that are too high for them

At the end of Thursday’s trade, 3M Co (NYSE:MMM)‘s shares dipped -0.06% to $137.58.

PEZY Computing, a Japan-based, microprocessor company, earned the top three rankings on the Green500 list, using a 3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquid in ExaScaler Inc.’s immersion cooling process. The Green500 is a biannual ranking of the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world. The triple win indicates growing progress and adoption in the field of immersion cooling with engineered dielectric fluids and its potential to transform the high performance computing (HPC) industry with step-change improvements in energy efficiency and compute performance.

Critical to an HPC’s Green500 ranking is its cooling system because managing the massive amount of heat generated by supercomputers requires a lot of energy. It’s a problem that’s followed HPC since its origins, and over the years, several methods – utilizing air, water, mineral oil and dielectric fluids – have been introduced and reimagined several times over. Immersion cooling in engineered dielectric fluids is proving beneficial with its cooling capacity and corresponding energy savings; it also creates a reduction in physical space and mechanical infrastructure – liberating companies from large server rooms and expensive cooling hardware.

To make the top rankings on Green500, HPC systems must also deliver compute performance. All three of PEZY’s systems broke the previous 6 gigaflops-per-watt (GFLOPS/W) threshold, with the top-ranking “Shoubu” from RIKEN coming in at an impressive 7.03 GFLOPS. Immersion cooling assisted them surpass previous benchmarks in processing speed and power without thermal issues limiting performance.
