Input/output capability-enhanced reconfigurable micro-server

Abstract

An input / output capability-enhanced reconfigurable micro-server comprises a microprocessor, a system bus, a memory, a reconfigurable acceleration unit and an input / output peripheral; the microprocessor, the memory and the input / output peripheral are connected with the system bus; the microprocessor is directly connected with the reconfigurable acceleration unit; the reconfigurable acceleration unit comprises a reconfigurable computation acceleration module, a plurality of reconfigurable I / O enhancement units and a plurality of I / O controllers respectively connected with each of the reconfigurable I / O enhancement units; the reconfigurable I / O enhancement units are connected with the reconfigurable computation acceleration module and the system bus; and furthermore, the I / O controllers corresponding to each of the reconfigurable I / O enhancement units are connected with I / O devices with the same resource type. Consequently, each of the reconfigurable I / O enhancement units and the corresponding I / O controllers are used for controlling data exchange with the I / O devices with the same resource type.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computing, and more specifically, the invention relates to a reconfigurable micro-server with enhanced input and output capabilities. Background technique [0002] With the increasing scale of servers in data centers and enterprise-level fields, the problem of low energy efficiency in data centers and large systems has become more prominent and serious, system power consumption is unnecessary and wasted, and the power consumption utilization rate of data centers is less than 10%. The resulting overall cost problem has also become more prominent. According to statistics, the global annual energy consumption of servers has already accounted for half of the server procurement costs. [0003] In this context, Micro Server (Micro Server) has gradually entered people's field of vision, and its concept can be traced back to 2009. Innovative concepts, major processor manufacturers including Intel, AMD, and ARM ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the increasing scale of servers in data centers and enterprise-level fields, the problem of low energy efficiency in data centers and large systems has become more prominent and serious, system power consumption is unnecessary and wasted, and the power consumption utilization rate of data centers is less than 10%. The resulting overall cost problem has also become more prominent

[0004] In order to improve the energy efficiency and node density of the system, the current micro-server mainly uses low-power processors or other low-power miniaturized devices to build the system, resulting in its computing power, storage capacity, I / O (input and output) capacity, etc. The absolute performance of all aspects is lower than that of existing standard servers, which limits the application and promotion of microservers
