Overview:
The Villanova Thermodynamic Analysis of Systems (VTAS) is a chip-to-cooling tower thermodynamic analysis tool for data center cooling systems.  It allows for:

  • Pinpointing efficiency bottlenecks in data center cooling systems
  • Modeling transient system behavior
  • Comparing different cooling solutions

VTAS is affiliated with Center for Energy Smart Electronic Systems (ES2) and Villanova University

An executive summary of VTAS capabilities is available:
