Using GPU Utilization To Scale Inference Servers Efficiently

Reduce GPU usage with more intelligent autoscaling for your GKE inferencing tasks.

The amount of time the GPU is active, or its duty cycle, is represented by GPU utilization.

Running LLM inference workloads can be expensive, even though LLM models provide enormous benefit for a growing number of use cases. Autoscaling can assist you in cost optimization if you’re utilizing the most recent open models and infrastructure. This will guarantee that you’re fulfilling consumer demand while just spending for the AI accelerators that you require.

Your LLM inference workloads may be easily deployed, managed, and scaled with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), a managed container orchestration service. Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) is a quick and easy solution to make sure your model servers scale with load when you set up your inference workloads on GKE. You can attain your intended inference server performance goals by adjusting the HPA parameters to match your provisioned hardware expenses to your incoming traffic demands.

In order to give best practices, it has evaluated several metrics for autoscaling on GPUs using ai-on-gke/benchmarks, since configuring autoscaling for LLM inference workloads can also be difficult. HPA and the Text-Generation-Inference (TGI) model server are used in this configuration. Keep in mind that these tests can be applied to other inference servers, such vLLM, that use comparable metrics.

Selecting the appropriate metric

Here are a few sample trials from metrics comparison that are displayed using dashboards from Cloud Monitoring. For each experiment, Google used a single L4 GPU g2-standard-16 computer to run TGI with Llama 2 7b using the HPA custom metrics stackdriver adaptor. It then generated traffic with different request sizes using the ai-on-gke locust-load-generation tool. For every trial shown below, it employed the same traffic load. The following thresholds were determined by experimentation.

Keep in mind that the mean-time-per-token graph represents TGI’s metric for the total amount of time spent on prefilling and decoding, divided by the number of output tokens produced for each request. It can examine the effects of autoscaling with various metrics on latency with this metric.

GPU utilization

CPU or memory use are the autoscaling metrics by default. This is effective for CPU-based workloads. However, as inference servers rely heavily on GPUs, these metrics are no longer a reliable way to measure job resource consumption alone. GPU utilization is a measure that is comparable to GPUs. The GPU duty cycle, or the duration of the GPU’s activity, is represented by GPU utilization.

What is GPU utilization?

The percentage of a graphics processing unit’s (GPU) processing power that is being used at any given moment is known as GPU usage. GPUs are specialized hardware parts that manage intricate mathematical computations for parallel computing and graphic rendering.

With a target value threshold of 85%, the graphs below demonstrate HPA autoscaling on GPU utilization.Image credit to Google Cloud

The request mean-time-per-token graph and the GPU utilization graph are not clearly related. HPA keeps scaling up because GPU utilization is rising despite a decline in request mean-time-per-token. GPU utilization is not a useful indicator for LLM autoscaling. This measure is hard to relate to the traffic the inference server is currently dealing with. Since the GPU duty cycle statistic does not gauge flop utilization, it cannot tell us how much work the accelerator is doing or when it is running at maximum efficiency. In comparison to the other measures below, GPU utilization tends to overprovision, which makes it inefficient from a financial standpoint.

In summary, Google does not advise autoscaling inference workloads with GPU utilization.

Batch size

It also looked into TGI’s LLM server metrics because of the limitations of the GPU utilization metric. The most widely used inference servers already offer the LLM server metrics that we looked at.

Batch size (tgi_batch_current_size), which indicates the number of requests handled in each iteration of inferencing, was one of the variables it chose.

With a goal value threshold of 35, the graphs below demonstrate HPA autoscaling on the current batch size.Image credit to Google Cloud

The request mean-time-per-token graph and the current batch size graph are directly related. Latencies are lower with smaller batch sizes. Because it gives a clear picture of the volume of traffic the inference server is currently handling, batch size is an excellent statistic for optimizing for low latency. One drawback of the current batch size metric is that, because batch size can fluctuate slightly with different incoming request sizes, it was difficult to trigger scale up while attempting to attain maximum batch size and, thus, maximum throughput. To make sure HPA would cause a scale-up, it has to select a figure that was somewhat less than the maximum batch size.

If you want to target a particular tail latency, we advise using the current batch size metric.

Queue size

Queue size (tgi_queue_size) was the other TGI LLM server metrics parameter that was used. The amount of requests that must wait in the inference server queue before being added to the current batch is known as the queue size.

HPA scaling on queue size with a goal value threshold of 10 is displayed in the graphs below.Image credit to Google Cloud

*Note that when the default five-minute stabilization time ended, the HPA initiated a downscale, which is when the pod count dropped. This window for the stabilization period and other basic HPA configuration settings can be easily adjusted to suit your traffic needs.

We see that the request mean-time-per-token graph and the queue size graph are directly related. Latencies increase with larger queue sizes. It discovered that queue size, which gives a clear picture of the volume of traffic the inference server is waiting to process, is an excellent indicator for autoscaling inference workloads. When the queue is getting longer, it means that the batch is full. Autoscaling queue size cannot attain latencies as low as batch size since queue size is solely based on the number of requests in the queue, not the number of requests being handled at any given time.

If you want to control tail delay and increase throughput, it suggests using queue size.

Finding the thresholds for goal values

The profile-generator in ai-on-gke/benchmarks to determine the appropriate criteria for these trials in order to further demonstrate the strength of the queue and batch size metrics. In light of this, it selected thresholds:

It determined the queue size at the point when only latency was increasing and throughput was no longer expanding in order to depict an optimal throughput workload.

It decided to autoscale on a batch size at a latency threshold of about 80% of the ideal throughput to simulate a workload that is sensitive to latency.

Image credit to Google Cloud

It used a single L4 GPU to run TGI with Llama 2 7b on two g2-standard-96 machines for each experiment, allowing autoscaling between 1 and 16 copies with the HPA custom metrics stackdriver. The locust-load-generation tool from ai-on-gke was utilized to create traffic with different request sizes. After finding a load that stabilized at about ten replicates, we increased the load by 150% to mimic traffic surges.

Queue size

HPA scaling on queue size with a goal value threshold of 25 is displayed in the graphs below.Image credit to Google Cloud

We observe that even with the 150% traffic spikes, its target threshold can keep the mean time per token below ~0.4s.

Batch size

The HPA scaling on batch size with a goal value threshold of 50 is displayed in the graphs below.Image credit to Google Cloud

Take note that the roughly 60% decrease in traffic is reflected in the about 60% decrease in average batch size.

We observe that even with the 150% traffic increases, its target threshold can keep the mean latency per token nearly below ~0.3s.

In contrast to the queue size threshold chosen at the maximum throughput, the batch size threshold chosen at about 80% of the maximum throughput preserves less than 80% of the mean time per token.

In pursuit of improved autoscaling

You may overprovision LLM workloads by autoscaling with GPU use, which would increase the cost of achieving your performance objectives.

By autoscaling using LLM server measurements, you may spend as little money on accelerators as possible while still meeting your latency or throughput targets. Targeting a particular tail latency is made possible by batch size. You may maximize throughput by adjusting the queue size.

I just saw someone call a pc that had an i5 and windows 10 retro. Buddy win10 hasn't even reached end of support yet???? You can still buy PCs with i5's in them from big box stores??? Is it retro because it actually has decent I/O? Is it retro to have decent I/O, expansion and compatibility options???? It had a blu-ray drive. They still make those too. IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SOUNDCARD. Like sure it had a floppy drive, but the addition of a floppy drive doesn't make the entire device retro. If I plug a USB floppy drive into a high end gaming pc, the whole PC isn't considered retro.

Playing about with riverine erosion models:

One of the first sensible heightmaps I generated. Definitely something that looks like river valleys in the top right.

Initial conditions for these ones are a quadratic slope up to the right, with increasing noise from bottom to top. The noise is deterministic so you can see how different parameters change things but with the same overall shape.

Then I decided to try varying the erosion rate according to terrain height, to simulate the effect of different rock layers.

This was using a fairly extreme 1.5 + cos(ω * height), so there was a factor of 5 between the maximum and minimum erosion rates. It produces an effect that reminds me of certain areas of chalkland. Perhaps with a bit of adjustment I could make an anticline like the N/S Downs.

Here's an example with a higher ω.

These were generated in Shadertoy. It uses the GPU to simulate the pixels in parallel.

Here's some bad GLSL code:

vec4 flux(in vec4 source, in vec4 sink) { float slope = source.y - sink.y; float flow = .5 * (source.z - sink.z) + 8. * (source.z * sink.z) * (0.1 *(source.z - sink.z) + slope); const float threshold = 0.05; float landslip = slope - clamp(slope, -threshold, threshold); return vec4(0, 0.1 * abs(flow) * (1.5 + cos(source.y)) + landslip, flow, 0); } void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ) { vec2 uv = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy; vec4 centre = texture(iChannel0,uv); vec4 up = texture(iChannel0, (fragCoord.xy + vec2(0.,1.))/iResolution.xy); vec4 down = texture(iChannel0, (fragCoord.xy + vec2(0.,-1.))/iResolution.xy); vec4 left = texture(iChannel0, (fragCoord.xy + vec2(-1.,0.))/iResolution.xy); vec4 right = texture(iChannel0, (fragCoord.xy + vec2(1.,0.))/iResolution.xy); float diffusion = 0.1; float rainfall = 0.00001; vec4 result = uv.x > 0.01 ? centre - diffusion * (flux(centre, up) + flux(centre, down) + flux(centre, left) + flux(centre, right)) + rainfall * vec4 (0.,0.,1.,0.) : vec4(centre.x, centre.y, 0.1, 1); fragColor = iTime < 1. ? vec4(0., ((texture(iChannel1,uv).x + textureLod(iChannel1,uv, 4.).y *50. + textureLod(iChannel1,uv, 2.).z *10. - 30.5) * 0.1 * uv.y + (uv.x + 5.) * uv.x *.2 + 1. * (.4 - uv.y) * (.7 - uv.y)), 0.1 + 0.1 * uv . x, 0) : result ; }

I think that next I will try putting in an advected silt term to try and model depositional landforms. Hopefully they will create something that isn't endless mountains and valleys.

On April 15, U.S. chipmaker Nvidia published a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that the government has restricted the company from selling its less advanced graphics processing unit (GPU)—the H20—to China. The company is now required to obtain a license from the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security to sell the H20 and any other chips “achieving the H20’s memory bandwidth, interconnect bandwidth, or combination thereof” to China, according to the filing.

Similarly, a filing from AMD stated that the firm is now restricted from selling its MI308 GPU to China—and likely any chips that have equal or higher performance in the future. Intel’s artificial intelligence accelerator Gaudi will also be restricted under the new control threshold, which reportedly appears to limit chips with total DRAM bandwidth of 1,400 gigabytes per second or more, input/output bandwidth of 1,100 GB per second or more, or a total of both of 1,700 GB per second or more.

The possible new threshold not only restricts the advanced chips that were already controlled but also the less advanced chips from Nvidia, AMD, and other chipmakers, including Nvidia’s H20, AMD’s MI308X, and Intel’s Gaudi, which were used to comply with the export control threshold and intended primarily for sale in the Chinese market.

The new restriction came roughly a week after NPR reported that the Trump administration had decided to back off on regulating the H20. Prior to that report, curbs on the H20 and chips with comparable performance had been widely anticipated by analysts on Wall Street, industry experts in Silicon Valley, and policy circles in Washington.

The latest set of chip controls could be seen as following on from export restrictions during the Biden administration and as continuation of the Trump administration’s efforts to limit China’s access to advanced AI hardware. But the new measure carries far-reaching industry implications that could fundamentally reshape the landscape of China’s AI chip market.

The impact of the new rule on the industry is profound. With the new controls, Nvidia is estimated to immediately lose about $15 billion to $16 billion, according to a J.P. Morgan analysis. AMD, on the other hand, faces $1.5 billion to 1.8 billion in lost revenue, accounting for roughly 10 percent of its estimated data center revenue this year.

Yet the implications go beyond immediate financial damage. If the restriction persists, it will fundamentally reshape the Chinese AI chip market landscape and mark the start of a broader retreat for U.S. AI accelerators from China. That includes not only GPU manufacturers such as Nvidia, AMD, and Intel but also firms providing application-specific integrated circuits—another type of chips targeting specific AI workloads, such as Google’s TPU and Amazon Web Servies’ Trainium.

The new rule will make it nearly impossible for U.S. firms such as Nvidia and AMD to design and sell chips that are export-compliant and competitive in the Chinese market. That means these firms’ market share in the Chinese AI chip market will decline over time, as they are forced to withdraw almost all of their offerings of both advanced and less advanced chips while Chinese firms gradually capture the remaining market.

The H20 and the upgraded H20E are already only marginally ahead of their Chinese competitors. Huawei’s latest AI chip Ascend 910C delivers 2.6 times the computational performance of the H20, although it offers 20 percent less memory bandwidth, which is vital for the inference training and reasoning models that are a key part of modern AI.

The H20’s memory bandwidth, along with Nvidia’s widely adopted software stack, a parallel computing platform and programming model that enables efficient GPU utilization for AI, high-performance computing, and scientific workloads, have been key differentiators driving demand from Chinese AI firms and keeping them competitive in the Chinese market. China acquired more than 1 million units of the H20 in 2024 and has been stockpiling the chip in response to looming concerns about controls since early 2025.

The narrowing gap between the H20 and Huawei’s 910C highlights the growing ability of Chinese AI chipmakers to meet domestic compute demand without foreign GPUs. As of today, Huawei’s 910C is in mass production, with units already delivered to customers and broader mass shipments reportedly starting in May. Most recently, Huawei is reportedly approaching customers about testing its enhanced version of the 910-series GPU—the 910D. Its next-generation chip—the Ascend 920—is expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2025.

Notably, Huawei is just one of many Chinese firms poised to fill the gap left by U.S. suppliers. Chinese AI chip companies such as Cambricon, Hygon, Enflame, Iluvatar CoreX, Biren, and Moore Threads are actively developing more competitive domestic AI chips to capture this expanding market.

Over the next few years, Chinese firms such as Alibaba, ByteDance, Baidu, and Tencent will likely continue to rely on existing inventories of Nvidia and AMD chips—such as the H100, H200, H800, and H20—acquired prior to the implementation of export controls. For example, ByteDance’s current GPU inventory in China is rumored to include 16,000-17,000 units of the A100, 60,000 units of the A800, and 24,000-25,000 units of the H800. Its overseas businesses likely have more than 20,000 units of the H100, 270,000 of the H20, and tens of thousands of cards such as the L20 and L40.

Advanced chips, including the limited amount of Nvidia’s Blackwell-series GPUs, may also continue entering the Chinese market via illicit or gray-market channels, given the enduring performance advantage and wide adoption of these chips over most Chinese domestic alternatives. The Blackwell GPUs and other cutting-edge chips could still be sold legally to the oversea data centers of leading Chinese AI companies to potentially train their AI models.

Similarly, other leading Chinese AI firms still possess significant chip stockpiles. Assuming export controls continue to restrict Chinese AI companies’ access to advanced computing resources, existing GPU inventories should still enable model development over the next several years. Typically, GPUs have a four- to five-year depreciation lifecycle, providing a window during which Chinese domestic GPU manufacturers can advance their capabilities and begin supplying more competitive chips to support domestic AI development.

Ultimately, time is now on the Chinese firms’ side. As inventories of foreign GPUs gradually depreciate and become obsolete, Chinese firms are expected to shift toward and adopt more domestically produced AI chips to meet ongoing compute needs at a time when local chipmakers offer more powerful alternatives. China’s overall computing demand will steadily rise, given the continued advancement of the AI industry, and such incremental growth in demand will likely be met by Chinese AI chipmakers.

As a result, the tens of billions of dollars in revenue that would have gone to Nvidia and AMD will be gradually captured by Chinese AI firms in the coming years. In a rough assessment, the latest ban causes Nvidia and AMD instant losses of about $16.5 billion to $17.8 billion—about 70 percent of what Huawei spent on research and development in 2024.

This new market paradigm will not only strengthen the market position and financial sustainability of domestic Chinese AI chipmakers but also enhance their capacity to reinvest in R&D. In turn, this will accelerate innovation, improve competitiveness, and fortify China’s broader AI hardware supply chain—ultimately contributing to the long-term resilience and advancement of Chinese AI capabilities.

More importantly, the growing domestic adoption of Chinese GPUs enables local firms to refine their products more efficiently through accelerated and larger feedback loops from local enterprises. As the Nvidia-led GPU ecosystem stalls and gradually retreats from the Chinese market, this shift creates space for local players to build a domestic GPU ecosystem—one that may increasingly lock out foreign competitors and raise re-entry barriers over time.

A total ban on the H20 would likely slow China’s short-term growth in AI compute capacity by removing a key source of advanced chips. But the medium- to longer-term impact is less clear. Chinese AI companies, as previously noted, remain very capable of developing their AI by using a large number of existing Nvidia and AMD GPUs for the next few years, alongside a growing supply of improving domestic alternatives. The U.S. leadership’s ultimate goal of using export controls to constrain China’s AI development remains uncertain, as the gap between the two countries’ AI model capabilities appears to be narrowing rather than widening.

What is clear, however, is the broader industry impact of the new controls. If sustained, they will mark the beginning of a major withdrawal of U.S. AI chipmakers from the Chinese market—paving the way for a significant boost to domestic Chinese AI chipmakers. In trying to isolate China, the United States may end up giving Chinese firms a leg up.

Would you be willing to share your blender settings? Your pictures are so HQ asf

Thanks!

Render engine: Cycles using GPU (but with Blender 4.2, Eevee now supports ray-tracing, so you can get similar results depending on how well you build your scenes and create your materials).

Resolution: Widescreen 2k or 4k because you can resize and make other edits in Photoshop. I think a lot of your perception of HQ is just from quality resizing and sharpening in PS, honestly!

Denoising: I used to denoise in the compositor, but now I just denoise in render properties. Denoiser: OpenImage, because it uses your CPU, so it's more accurate than OptiX, which uses nvidia GPUs. However, Blender 4.2 now supports GPU with OpenImage denoising, but it is still less accurate than if your CPU did it. Passes: Albedo and normal. Pre-filter: Accurate. Quality: High.

Sample sizes: 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096. You generally want to stick with powers of 2 and numbers divisible by 8. Choosing odd and/or random numbers WILL create more noise. The reasoning behind this is Cycles using PMJ and Sobol sampling patterns for ray-tracing and the number ray bounces supported by each. If you want to understand in depth how Blender's Cycles render engine handles noise and sampling, read here and here. Essentially, higher values = less noise with longer render times, and lower values = more noise with shorter render times.

Noise threshold: Materials with non-diffuse values tend to be noisier (lots of light bouncing), so I adjust my noise threshold from the default of 0.01 to something lower if my scene utilizes subsurface scattering or transmissive/transluscent materials (think glass, skin, etc). Depending on your use case and similarly with sample sizes, lower values = more accurate noise calculations for certain materials with longer render times. Higher values = less accurate noise calculations for certain materials with shorter render times. Please be careful with this setting, as even a decimal point change can increase render times exponentially.

My average render times are between 5-20 minutes depending on how heavy the scene is. Keep in mind that heavier scenes need to be better optimized not only in sampling and denoising aspects, but also in textures, materials, and meshes. However, this isn't a guide on how to decrease render times but just my own settings and some brief explanations on how I tweak them for higher quality render results. There is a trade off between time to render and its quality!

TL;DR -> read it all :p there is no such thing as best settings. in order for things to look nice, you need to tweak a lot of your settings depending on what you are rendering

Top Challenges in VR Development and How to Solve Them

Virtual Reality has transformed from a sci-fi fantasy into a rapidly growing industry, with applications spanning gaming, healthcare, education, and enterprise training. However, VR development remains a complex field filled with unique challenges that can make or break a project. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey in VR development, understanding these obstacles and their solutions is crucial for creating compelling virtual experiences.

1. Motion Sickness and User Comfort

One of the most significant hurdles in VR development is preventing motion sickness, also known as VR sickness or simulator sickness. This occurs when there's a disconnect between what users see and what their inner ear perceives, leading to nausea, dizziness, and discomfort.

The Solution: Maintaining a consistent 90 frames per second (FPS) is non-negotiable in VR development. Any drops below this threshold can trigger motion sickness. Implement comfort settings like teleportation movement instead of smooth locomotion, reduce acceleration and deceleration, and provide stationary reference points within the virtual environment. Consider adding comfort vignettes that gradually darken the peripheral vision during movement to reduce visual-vestibular conflict.

2. Performance Optimization Challenges

VR applications demand significantly more processing power than traditional applications because they need to render two separate images simultaneously while maintaining high frame rates. Poor performance doesn't just affect user experience—it can cause physical discomfort and safety issues.

The Solution: Optimize your VR development process by implementing level-of-detail (LOD) systems that reduce polygon counts for distant objects. Use occlusion culling to avoid rendering objects outside the user's field of view, and implement foveated rendering when supported by the hardware. Profiling tools are essential—regularly test your application across different VR headsets to ensure consistent performance. Consider using techniques like reprojection and asynchronous timewarp to maintain smooth frame rates even when the GPU is under stress.

3. User Interface and User Experience Design

Traditional UI/UX principles don't translate directly to VR development. Designing interfaces that work in three-dimensional space while remaining intuitive and accessible presents unique challenges. Users interact with VR environments using hand controllers, eye tracking, or gesture recognition, requiring entirely new design paradigms.

The Solution: Embrace spatial UI design principles in your VR development workflow. Position UI elements at comfortable viewing distances (typically 1-3 meters) and avoid placing crucial interface components at the edges of the user's field of view. Implement clear visual feedback for interactions, use familiar metaphors like buttons and sliders adapted for 3D space, and ensure your UI elements are large enough to be easily selected with motion controllers. Always provide alternative input methods and consider accessibility from the start.

4. Hardware Fragmentation and Compatibility

The VR market features numerous headsets with different specifications, tracking systems, and input methods. Developing for multiple platforms simultaneously while ensuring consistent performance and user experience across devices is a major challenge in VR development.

The Solution: Adopt a platform-agnostic approach by using cross-platform development frameworks like Unity XR or Unreal Engine's VR template. These tools provide abstraction layers that handle device-specific implementations. Establish a testing matrix that includes the most popular VR headsets in your target market, and implement scalable graphics settings that automatically adjust based on the detected hardware capabilities. Consider using OpenXR, an open standard that provides a unified API for VR development across multiple platforms.

5. Spatial Audio Implementation

Audio plays a crucial role in creating immersive VR experiences, but implementing convincing spatial audio that accurately represents sound sources in 3D space is technically challenging. Poor audio implementation can break immersion and reduce the overall quality of the VR experience.

The Solution: Integrate spatial audio engines like Steam Audio, Oculus Audio SDK, or Unity's built-in spatial audio system into your VR development pipeline. These tools provide realistic sound propagation, room acoustics, and head-related transfer functions (HRTF). Position audio sources accurately in 3D space and implement proper attenuation curves. Test your audio implementation with different headphones and speakers to ensure compatibility across various audio setups.

6. Content Creation and Asset Pipeline

Creating high-quality 3D assets for VR requires specialized knowledge and tools. VR development demands detailed textures, complex 3D models, and optimized assets that maintain visual fidelity while meeting strict performance requirements.

The Solution: Establish a robust asset pipeline that includes automatic optimization processes. Use texture compression techniques appropriate for your target platforms, implement efficient UV mapping strategies, and create multiple LOD versions of complex models. Consider using photogrammetry and 3D scanning for realistic environments, but always optimize the resulting assets for VR performance requirements. Implement version control systems specifically designed for binary assets to manage your growing content library effectively.

7. Testing and Quality Assurance

Traditional software testing methods are insufficient for VR development. VR applications require physical testing with actual hardware, and issues like motion sickness or tracking problems can only be discovered through hands-on testing with real users.

The Solution: Develop a comprehensive VR testing strategy that includes both automated and manual testing phases. Create diverse test environments that simulate different room sizes and lighting conditions. Establish a user testing program with participants of varying VR experience levels, physical abilities, and comfort zones. Document common issues and their solutions in a knowledge base that your development team can reference. Implement telemetry systems to gather performance data and user behavior patterns from real-world usage.

8. Keeping Up with Rapid Technological Changes

The VR industry evolves rapidly, with new hardware, software updates, and development tools emerging regularly. Staying current with these changes while maintaining existing projects is a constant challenge in VR development.

The Solution: Allocate dedicated time for research and experimentation with new VR technologies. Follow industry leaders, attend VR conferences, and participate in developer communities to stay informed about emerging trends. Implement modular architecture in your VR projects that allows for easier updates and integration of new features. Consider the long-term implications of technology choices and build flexibility into your development roadmap.

Conclusion

VR development presents unique challenges that require specialized knowledge, tools, and approaches. Success in this field comes from understanding these obstacles and implementing proven solutions while staying adaptable to the rapidly evolving VR landscape. By addressing motion sickness, optimizing performance, designing intuitive interfaces, managing hardware compatibility, implementing spatial audio, streamlining content creation, establishing comprehensive testing procedures, and staying current with technological advances, developers can create compelling VR experiences that truly immerse users in virtual worlds.

The key to successful VR development lies in thorough planning, continuous testing, and a deep understanding of how humans interact with virtual environments. As the technology continues to mature, these challenges will evolve, but the fundamental principles of user-centered design and technical excellence will remain crucial for creating exceptional VR experiences.

Your AI Doesn’t Sleep. Neither Should Your Monitoring.

We’re living in a world run by models from real-time fraud detection to autonomous systems navigating chaos. But what happens after deployment?

What happens when your model starts drifting, glitching, or breaking… quietly?

That’s the question we asked ourselves while building the AI Inference Monitor, a core module of the Aurora Framework by Auto Bot Solutions.

This isn’t just a dashboard. It’s a watchtower.

It sees every input and output. It knows when your model lags. It learns what “normal” looks like and it flags what doesn’t.

Why it matters: You can’t afford to find out two weeks too late that your model’s been hallucinating, misclassifying, or silently underperforming.

That’s why we gave the AI Inference Monitor:

Lightweight Python-based integration

Anomaly scoring and model drift detection

System resource tracking (RAM, CPU, GPU)

Custom alert thresholds

Reproducible logging for full audits

No more guessing. No more “hope it holds.” Just visibility. Control. Insight.

Built for developers, researchers, and engineers who know the job isn’t over when the model trains it’s just beginning.

Why Liquid Cooling is on Every CTO’s Radar in 2025

As we reach the midpoint of 2025, the conversation around data center liquid cooling trends has shifted from speculative to strategic. For CTOs steering digital infrastructure, liquid cooling is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s a competitive necessity. Here’s why this technology is dominating boardroom agendas and shaping the next wave of data center innovation.

The Pressure: AI, Density, and Efficiency

The explosion of AI workloads, cloud computing, and high-frequency trading is pushing data centers to their thermal and operational limits. Traditional air cooling, once the backbone of server rooms, is struggling to keep up with the escalating power densities—especially as modern racks routinely exceed 30-60 kW, far beyond the 10-15 kW threshold where air cooling remains effective. As a result, CTOs are seeking scalable, future-proof solutions that can handle the heat—literally and figuratively.

Data Center Liquid Cooling Trends in 2025

1. Mainstream Market Momentum

The global data center liquid cooling market is projected to skyrocket from $4.68 billion in 2025 to $22.57 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of over 19%. Giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are not just adopting but actively standardizing liquid cooling in their hyperscale facilities, setting industry benchmarks and accelerating adoption across the sector.

2. Direct-to-Chip and Immersion Cooling Dominate

Two primary technologies are leading the charge:

Direct-to-Chip Cooling: Coolant circulates through plates attached directly to CPUs and GPUs, efficiently extracting heat at the source. This method is favored for its scalability and selective deployment on high-density racks

Immersion Cooling: Servers are submerged in non-conductive liquid, achieving up to 50% energy savings over air cooling and enabling unprecedented compute densities.

Both approaches are up to 1,000 times more effective at heat transfer than air, supporting the relentless growth of AI and machine learning workloads.

3. AI-Powered Cooling Optimization

Artificial intelligence is now integral to cooling strategy. AI-driven systems monitor temperature fluctuations and optimize cooling in real time, reducing energy waste and ensuring uptime for mission-critical applications.

4. Sustainability and Regulatory Pressures

With sustainability targets tightening and energy costs rising, liquid cooling’s superior efficiency is a major draw. It enables higher operating temperatures, reduces water and power consumption, and supports green IT initiatives—key considerations for CTOs facing regulatory scrutiny.

Challenges and Considerations

What is the relationship between the heat dissipation efficiency and power of the water cooling plate?

The relationship between the heat dissipation efficiency and power of the liquid cooling plate is closely interconnected. Generally, higher power results in more heat generation, requiring the liquid cooling plate to have higher heat dissipation efficiency to maintain the equipment's normal operating temperature. The specific relationship is as follows:

Positive Correlation

1. Higher Power Demands Greater Heat Dissipation Efficiency

2. As electronic components operate at higher power levels, they generate significantly more heat. The liquid cooling plate must correspondingly increase its heat dissipation capacity to prevent overheating. For example, high-performance computing processors with power ratings above 300W require advanced liquid cooling solutions to maintain safe operating temperatures. Without adequate cooling, components would quickly exceed their thermal limits, leading to potential damage or failure.

3. Improved Heat Dissipation Enables Higher Power Output

4. When a liquid cooling system efficiently removes heat, electronic components can operate at higher power levels without thermal throttling. This principle is particularly evident in overclocking scenarios, where enhanced cooling allows processors and GPUs to sustain elevated clock speeds. For instance, high-end graphics cards using liquid cooling often achieve 15-20% higher performance compared to air-cooled counterparts, as the improved thermal management enables stable operation at increased power.

Mutual Constraints

1. Power Increase Imposes Higher Cooling Requirements

2. There is a practical limit to how much power a system can handle before cooling becomes insufficient. If the liquid cooling plate cannot dissipate heat fast enough, components will experience thermal throttling—reducing performance to prevent overheating. A common example is laptop CPUs, which may drop from 4.5GHz to 2.8GHz under sustained high loads due to inadequate cooling. In extreme cases, prolonged overheating can shorten component lifespan or cause permanent damage.

3. Cooling Efficiency Has Limits Based on Power

4. Even the most advanced liquid cooling plates have physical limitations in heat dissipation capacity. Factors such as coolant flow rate, cold plate material, and heat exchanger design determine the maximum cooling performance. For example, a standard liquid cooling plate might effectively dissipate up to 500W, but beyond that, additional cooling methods (such as phase-change or immersion cooling) become necessary. This means that while better cooling can support higher power, there is always an upper bound where further power increases require entirely different thermal solutions.

Conclusion

The relationship between liquid cooling plate efficiency and power is both complementary and restrictive. Higher power necessitates better cooling, and improved cooling enables higher power—but only up to a point. Beyond certain thresholds, cooling systems face diminishing returns, requiring alternative approaches to thermal management. Therefore, designing an optimal liquid cooling solution involves carefully balancing power requirements with cooling capabilities to ensure stable, efficient, and long-lasting operation.
