REFRIGERATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUPERCONDUCTING COMPUTERS.

Author(s) : GUERNSEY R. W., FLINT E. B.

Summary

HIGH SPEED, LOW POWER JOSEPHSON JUNCTION LOGIC AND MEMORY CHIPS DENSELY PACKED INTO A STRUCTURE IMMERSED IN LIQUID HELIUM MAY CONSTITUTE THE HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTER OF THE FUTURE. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES CHIP COOLING, INPUT/OUTPUT CABLE REQUIREMENTS, COMPUTER CRYOSYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, AND REFRIGERATION REQUIREMENTS. CONVENTIONAL GAS EXPANSION REFRIGERATION SHOULD BE SUITABLE FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE SUPERCONDUCTING COMPUTERS (0.5 TO 10 WATTS). SMALL SYSTEMS, SUCH AS A 25 MW FUTURE MINICOMPUTER, WILL REQUIRE INNOVATIVE REFRIGERATOR DESIGN THAT ACHIEVES HIGH RELIABILITY AT LOW COST.
