Supercomputers stand in one of the machine rooms at CSAIL on Wednesday. After two water chillers at the central cooling plant failed on Tuesday, CSAIL was forced to shut down inessential machines to avoid overheating. The water chillers were repaired within a few hours. Cooling failures occur at least two or three times per year, often in the summer months.
