An industry research report highlights that the meteoric rise of AI technology has spurred a significant expansion in computing power infrastructure, intensifying the strain on energy and water resource supplies. This has led to a pronounced imbalance between water supply and demand in certain regions. The report posits that the cornerstone of competitiveness in the AI era is the capacity to harmoniously leverage computing power, energy, and water resources. For the first time, it introduces a three-tiered technical capability framework for fluid systems, accompanied by seven fundamental technical tenets. This framework offers a technical blueprint for computing centers to evolve from isolated energy-saving measures to holistic system optimization. The report underscores that the sustainable development of computing infrastructure hinges on striking a balance between the growth of computing power, resource efficiency, and operational robustness. The linchpin of future industry rivalry will be the ability to foster greater computing power growth while minimizing energy and water consumption.
