Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Advancements in datacenter power architecture has led to 48V to 12V intermediate bus converters becoming a resurgent area of research interested. The 48 volt server architecture, proposed by companies such as Google, can offer significant benefits. This higher voltage reduces the distribution losses by 4x as compared with a 12V distribution, as well ad reducing the power conversion losses at the building level. However, increasing this server rack voltage to 48 volts presents a challenge when converting down to point of load voltages using conventional topologies. The Zero Inductor-Voltage converter that can achieve up to 2.5kW/in3power density for 70A/12V output. The full load efficiency was measured to be 97.2% with a peak efficiency of 99.1%. This represents the highest efficiency and power density yet demonstrated. The design of the converter is also relatively straightforward as there is no need for active current sharing control, and the converter does not utilize resonant components.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
