Abstract

The invention discloses a symmetry multi-processor blade server, belonging to blade server technical field, for resolving the defects of prior blade server which has inadequate CPU number, to fail to meet applications. The invention can provide a multi-path operation condition with 8 paths, 16 paths or 32 paths, or the like to meet large operation need of user. The invention comprises at least two calculation blades, while each calculation blade is at provided with a CPU chip group, wherein each calculation blade is provided with an ultra-process expander, the CPU chip groups of each operation blade and the CPU chip groups of different calculation blades are connected via the ultra-process expander. The invention more particularly can be used for the application with massive data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a blade server, in particular to a symmetrical multi-processor (SymmetricalMulti-Processing) blade server. Background technique [0002] Compared with minicomputers, blade servers must have the characteristics of convenient expansion, strong versatility, and low price, and it is impossible to set too many CPUs on the single-chip computing blades of blade servers. Therefore, the computing blades of existing blade servers mainly use 2 CPU design, only a small number of 4-channel CPU design, but in the application of super-large data processing such as scientific computing, multi-CPU computing equipment with 8-channel, 16-channel or even more than 32-channel can meet the various needs of the application, currently The defect that the number of CPUs in single-chip computing blades is relatively small has restricted the application of blade servers in many fields. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present inve...
