Claim:
1. A cooling system for a high performance computing system having a plurality of computing blades for use within a data center, the cooling system comprising: a sealed closed-loop airflow cooling cell including: a first compute rack including at least one blade enclosure, the first compute rack having a front, a back, and a side; a second compute rack including at least one blade enclosure, the second compute rack having a front, a back, and a side; a cooling tower coupled to the side of the first compute rack using an airtight seal and coupled to the side of the second compute rack using an airtight seal, the cooling tower having at least two water-cooled heat exchangers positioned in a v-shape with the open side of the v-shape facing one or more blowers; and the one or more blowers configured to draw warm air from the first and second compute racks across the water-cooled heat exchanger, and to circulate cooled air into the first and second compute racks; and a housing enclosing the first compute rack, the second compute rack, and the cooling tower to provide a closed-loop air flow within the cooling cell; wherein the cooling cell is within the data center and substantially no air from the cooling cell enters the data center.
