Tiny Data Centre Used To Heat Public Swimming Pool

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

The heat generated by a washing-machine-sized data centre is being used to heat a Devon public swimming pool

These three paragraphs outline the story.

The computers inside the white box are surrounded by oil to capture the heat – enough to heat the pool to about 30C 60% of the time, saving Exmouth Leisure Centre thousands of pounds.

The data centre is provided to the council-run centre free of charge.

Start-up Deep Green charges clients to use its computing power for artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Note.

1. Deep Green has a web site.
2. thermify do something similar for homes.

I find both of these interesting applications.
