This image illustrates the purpose and outcomes of temperature prediction approaches in data centers, showing how each method serves different operational needs.

Purpose and Results Framework

CFD Approach – Validation and Design Purpose

Input:

  • Setup Data: Physical infrastructure definitions (100% RULES-based)
  • Pre-defined spatial, material, and boundary conditions

Process: Physics-based simulation through computational fluid dynamics

Results:

  • What-if (One Case) Simulation: Theoretical scenario testing
  • Checking a Limitation: Validates whether proposed configurations are “OK or not”
  • Used for design validation and capacity planning

ML Approach – Operational Monitoring Purpose

Input:

  • Relation (Extended) Data: Real-time operational data starting from workload metrics
  • Continuous data streams: Power, CPU, Temperature, LPM/RPM

Process: Data-driven pattern learning and prediction

Results:

  • Operating Data: Real-time operational insights
  • Anomaly Detection: Identifies unusual patterns or potential issues
  • Used for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance

Key Distinction in Purpose

CFD: “Can we do this?” – Validates design feasibility and limits before implementation

  • Answers hypothetical scenarios
  • Provides go/no-go decisions for infrastructure changes
  • Design-time tool

ML: “What’s happening now?” – Monitors current operations and predicts immediate future

  • Provides real-time operational intelligence
  • Enables proactive issue detection
  • Runtime operational tool

The diagram shows these are complementary approaches: CFD for design validation and ML for operational excellence, each serving distinct phases of data center lifecycle management.

Digital Twin with LLM

This image demonstrates the revolutionary applicability of Digital Twin enhanced by LLM integration.

Three Core Components of Digital Twin

Digital Twin consists of three essential elements:

  1. Modeling – Creating digital replicas of physical objects
  2. Data – Real-time sensor data and operational information collection
  3. Simulation – Predictive analysis and scenario testing

Traditional Limitations and LLM’s Revolutionary Solution

Previous Challenges: Modeling results were expressed only through abstract concepts like “Visual Effect” and “Easy to view of complex,” making practical interpretation difficult.

LLM as a Game Changer:

  • Multimodal Interpretation: Transforms complex 3D models, data patterns, and simulation results into intuitive natural language explanations
  • Retrieval Interpretation: Instantly extracts key insights from vast datasets and converts them into human-understandable formats
  • Human Interpretation Resource Replacement: LLM provides expert-level analytical capabilities, enabling continuous 24/7 monitoring

Future Value of Digital Twin

With LLM integration, Digital Twin evolves from a simple visualization tool into an intelligent decision-making partner. This becomes the core driver for maximizing operational efficiency and continuous innovation, accelerating digital transformation across industries.

Ultimately, this diagram emphasizes that LLM is the key technology that unlocks the true potential of Digital Twin, demonstrating its necessity and serving as the foundation for sustained operational improvement and future development.

Digital Twin and the LLM

Digital Twin Concept

A Digital Twin is composed of three key elements:

  • High Precision Data: Exact, structured numerical data
  • Real 3D Model: Visual representation that is easy to comprehend
  • History/Prediction Simulation: Temporal analysis capabilities

LLM Approach

Large Language Models expand on the Digital Twin concept with:

  • Enormous Unstructured Data: Ability to incorporate and process diverse, non-structured information
  • Text-based Interface: Making analysis more accessible through natural language rather than requiring visual interpretation
  • Enhanced Simulation: Improved predictive capabilities leveraging more comprehensive datasets

Key Advantages of LLM over Traditional Digital Twin

  1. Data Flexibility: LLMs can handle both structured and unstructured data, expanding beyond the limitations of traditional Digital Twins
  2. Accessibility: Text-based interfaces lower the barrier to understanding complex analyses
  3. Implementation Efficiency: Recent advances in LLM and GPU technologies make these solutions more practical to implement than complex Digital Twin systems
  4. Practical Application: LLMs offer a more approachable alternative while maintaining the core benefits of Digital Twin concepts

This comparison illustrates how LLMs can serve as an evolution of Digital Twin technology, providing similar benefits through more accessible means and potentially expanding capabilities through their ability to process diverse data types.
