Server platform based on universal ARM architecture

Abstract

The invention discloses a server platform based on a universal ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) architecture. The server platform comprises a redundant power supply, a main board, CPU (central processing unit) nodes, a gigabit Ethernet switch, a host management server and a hard disk module, wherein the redundant power supply converts commercial power into a standard ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) power supply or a 12V single power supply, and supplies the preferential power to the main board; the main board carries the CPU nodes, supplies electricity to each CPU node, and sequentially electrifies each CPU node according to the time intervals; each CPU node is connected with the hard disk module; the hard disk module is used for expanding the system storage volume; the CPU nodes use the gigabit Ethernet switch to perform communication among the CPU nodes; each CPU node is operated through a gigabit Ethernet; and the host management sever controls the main board through the Ethernet switch. The server platform based on the universal ARM architecture provided by the invention has the advantages that the power consumption is low; the performance is high; and the hot plugging and the hot unplugging are supported.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server implementation, in particular to a server platform based on a general-purpose ARM architecture with low power consumption, high performance, and support for hot plugging. Background technique [0002] The biggest impetus for product changes comes from user needs. In the server market, users' demands for openness, standardization, and low cost have made x86 servers prosper rapidly, eclipsing once-brilliant mainframes and minicomputers; Increasingly rich and mature, cloud computing is booming, and parallel and lightweight load types are growing rapidly, which makes the user's demand for servers change again, and at the same time "ripens" a subcategory of servers—— low power servers. Under the trend of cloud computing, processor platforms with low power consumption and small size will become the mainstream. At present, Intel has been actively reducing the energy consumption of x86 architecture chips...
