Patent ID: 8787015

Claim:
A processing module comprising: a set of processing module sides, wherein each processing module side comprises: a circuit board; a plurality of connectors coupled to the circuit board; and a plurality of processing nodes coupled to the circuit board, wherein each processing module side in the set of processing module sides couples to another processing module side using at least one connector in the plurality of connectors such that when all of the set of processing module sides are coupled together a modular processing module is formed, and wherein the modular processing module comprises: an exterior connection to a power source and a communication system; and a plurality of cold plates coupled to the plurality of processing nodes, wherein a liquid coolant is circulated through the plurality of cold plates, wherein the liquid coolant is circulated in a closed loop by at least one pump through a plurality of tubes and through at least one heat exchanger of a plurality of heat exchangers, wherein the at least one heat exchanger is coupled to an exterior portion of the processing module, and wherein the at least one heat exchanger cools the liquid coolant using air surrounding the processing module.
