Towards Building Wind Tunnels for Data Center Design
Summary: Proposes a simulation-based “wind tunnel” for systematic data-center hardware/software co-design, rather than sequential tuning. Large-scale what-if exploration quantifies cost, availability, durability, and performance under evolving workloads and failures. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
