Programmable communication interface (PCI)-based expansion module

Abstract

The invention provides a programmable communication interface (PCI)-based expansion module. The module comprises a shell (1) and compatible devices (7, 7' and 7''), wherein the shell (1) is a hollow cylinder with front and back openings; and the compatible devices (7, 7' and 7'') are arranged in the shell in a detachable manner and are provided with spaces (71, 72, 73, 74, 75 and 76) for accommodating a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIE) interface-based communication device or a signal transmission terminal of the device. The shell is fixedly provided with the compatible devicesin a replaceable manner, and corresponding compatible devices are replaced according to specific application conditions, so that the PCI-based expansion module can have various kinds of application; therefore, the technical problem of low expansibility in the prior art can be solved to the minimum extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an expansion module based on a PCI interface. Background technique [0002] PCI is a standard bus for interconnection between components. When a board is inserted into the system through the PCI interface, the system will automatically allocate the resources required by the board. It has simple structure, low cost, and simple design. Currently, in terms of blade servers, various companies They all develop their own application modules on the basis of the PCI bus to realize system expansion, or connect to GPU, or connect to memory card. [0003] At present, the expansion module based on the PCI interface is 1U in width, and can have a built-in memory card or GPU, and can be connected to peripheral storage devices through the memory card, or assisted in calculation through the GPU. [0004] Although the expansion module can realize corresponding expansion functions, it is inconvenient to use, mainly in the following aspects: ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Module A is 1U in width, and dissipates heat when multiple GPUs are working at the same time. The cooling system of the system fan and the GPU itself is not enough to take away the heat in time, resulting in a heat dissipation bottleneck.

[0006] The B memory card is put into the expansion module. Although it can be used for external storage, it is troublesome and requires a special peripheral storage device. The storage cannot be integrated in this module, and the expandability is not strong.

[0007] C Due to limited space, management and control equipment cannot be integrated, and the compatibility is not strong
