Development of chip load emulator for 6G edge nodes

Reference number
Coordinator RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 100 000
Project duration September 2025 - March 2026
Status Ongoing
Venture 6G - Competence supply
Call 6G - Supervision of degree work

Purpose and goal

The project aims to develop modular thermal load emulators to simulate heat generation from various server components (e.g. power distribution, memory, storage) in 6G edge nodes. This supports parallel development of power and cooling systems alongside server hardware before these components are fully developed. Emulators are also needed to replace expensive components that developers do not want to burn.

Expected effects and result

The expected result is a validated, modular thermal load emulator to simulate future server environments in 6G edge nodes, contributing to the development of power and cooling systems for tomorrow´s server hardware.

Planned approach and implementation

The implementation phases of the project are feasibility study and requirements analysis, prototype design and development, evaluation and optimization, and finally final reporting and documentation.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.
