DatacenterDynamics reports that Rowan has filed for a second building at its data center campus in Temple, Texas. The roughly 500,000-square-foot facility is due to go live next year. Power capacity and tenant details are outside the excerpt and unconfirmed.

A sponsored DatacenterDynamics piece argues that, as data center power density climbs, planning liquid-cooled AI data centers successfully depends on understanding how power availability, cooling strategy and deployment timelines influence one another. As sponsored content, its specific recommendations sit in the full article rather than this excerpt.

A DatacenterDynamics opinion piece argues that, as data center capacity expands and compute densities rise, thermal management is becoming one of the industry's most critical challenges, and that optimal cooling strategies are central to prioritizing uptime. Specific cooling techniques are discussed in the full article, outside this excerpt.

DatacenterDynamics reports that Talen is looking to develop a 23-building data center campus in Pennsylvania, on a site previously earmarked for an Amazon campus. Power supply arrangements and construction timing are outside the excerpt and unconfirmed.

DatacenterDynamics reports that Brookfield will develop a gigawatt-scale data center campus at the US Department of Energy's Kentucky nuclear enrichment site, with NextEra building natural gas generation and battery energy storage to power it. Construction and go-live timing and total investment are outside the excerpt and unconfirmed.

DatacenterDynamics reports that a 9MW cryptomining site in North Carolina is up for sale at $1.1 million, marketed as ready for conversion into a data center. The buyer and any conversion plans are outside the excerpt and unconfirmed.

DatacenterDynamics reports that APAC data center firm AirTrunk has secured $2.3 billion in funding for its JHB2 campus in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, financing construction of the 270MW site. The financing syndicate and completion timeline are outside the excerpt and unconfirmed.

DatacenterDynamics reports that electric truck firm Workhorse aims to enter the data center space with a containerized offering. The new pod is still in development and could launch next year. Specifications and the go-to-market model are outside the excerpt and unconfirmed.

UC Berkeley's BAIR blog presents K-Search, which translates decades of accumulated CUDA GPU-kernel optimization know-how into architecture-native strategies for Apple Silicon's MLX, rather than copying instructions verbatim. It targets the cost of re-discovering optimizations when porting kernels across increasingly diverse vendor chips. Note: the retrieved excerpt is truncated, so the exact search algorithm and benchmarks are unconfirmed.
