Compute Coop (YCC) project is to research, design, build and implementa greenfield “efficient data factory” and to specifically demonstrate that the YCC concept is feasiblefor large facilities housing tens of thousands of heat-producing computing servers.The project scope for the Yahoo! Compute Coop technology includes:• Analyzing and implementing ways in which to drastically decrease energy consumption andwaste output.• Analyzing the laws of thermodynamics and implementing naturally occurring environmentaleffects in order to maximize the “free-cooling” for large data center facilities. “Free cooling” isthe direct usage of outside air to cool the servers vs. traditional “mechanical cooling” which issupplied by chillers or other Dx units.• Redesigning and simplifying building materials and methods.• Shortening and simplifying build-to-operate schedules while at the same time reducing initial-build and operating costs.
