Problems solved by technology

For a multi-processor computer system, the number of processors is therefore limited by the area of ​​the main board (the area of ​​the memory that needs to be configured with processors and independently controlled by each processor) and cannot be expanded, so that the known multi-processing A server computer system has 2-4 processors at most, if the number of processors needs to be further increased to improve the processing performance of the computer system, it is difficult to achieve

Embodiment Construction

[0012] Please refer to figure 1 . figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of a computer system 10 with a processor expansion device of the present invention. The computer system 10 includes a motherboard 11 , a first processor 14 and a processor expansion device 30 . There are multiple expansion slots 12 on the motherboard 11 , which in the embodiment of the present invention refer to the expansion slots 12 conforming to the HTX (Hyper Tran sport extension) protocol. The first processor 14 is installed on the main board 11, through a plurality of buses 20 on the main board 11, the first processor 14 is installed on the expansion slot 12 through a system chip 22 and a plurality of expansion slots 12 on the main board 11 The expansion unit connects and transmits data. In the embodiment of the present invention, the bus 20 between the system chip 22 and the first processor 14 and each expansion slot 12 is a bus conforming to the Hyper Transport protocol, which is a transmission ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a processor extended device. In a computer system, the purpose that a processor is extended in the computer system through installing a processor extended device on an expansion slot which supports and conforms to a bus protocol can be realized. One or more processors and the corresponding memorizer(s) are respectively arranged on the processor extended device, and when the processor extended device is installed in the computer system, the basic output-input system in the computer system performs porting operation to the bus routing of the processor(s) on the processor extended device, and performs addressing to the memorizer(s) on the processor extended device, so that the number of the processor(s) and the memorizer(s) can be expanded when the processor extended device is installed in the computer system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a computer system, and in particular to a computer system with a processor expansion device. Background technique [0002] As the processing requirements for computer systems are getting higher and higher, in addition to single-processor computer systems, that is, a computer system has a single central processing unit for all calculations, computer systems with multi-processors have been developed. , by setting more than one central processing unit in the computer system to process a large number of calculations in a time-sharing or parallel processing manner to improve the performance of the computer system. [0003] At present, AMD Opteron servers use Hyper Transport technology to provide relatively low latency and extremely high bandwidth performance in the form of parallel or serial buses in processor-to-processor and processor-to-I / O applications. point-to-point transmission scheme. On the other hand, for a multi...
