The Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Germany has retired the CoolMUC-3 supercomputer, which was in operation since 2017. This cluster, consisting of nine server racks with Intel Xeon Phi processors, provided 400 teraflops of computing power and was designed for fluid dynamic simulations.

CoolMUC-3 utilized a hot water-based liquid cooling system called 'ColdCon,' developed by Megaware, making it the first HPC system with nearly 100% direct hot-water cooling. Megaware will manage the environmentally responsible disposal and reuse of components from CoolMUC-3.
