Server

Abstract

The invention discloses a server. The server comprises a computation module, a storage module, an optical communication device arranged on a transmission node of the computation module and an optical communication device arranged on a transmission node of the storage module, wherein each optical communication device comprises an optical signal sending part and an optical signal receiving part; the optical signal sending part comprises an encoding unit used for carrying out encoding conversion on a to-be-transmitted source signal to a driving signal, a drive circuit used for loading the driving signal to an optical emitter and the optical emitter used for generating a modulated optical signal and emitting the optical signal; and the optical signal receiving part comprises a photoelectric detector used for receiving the transmitted optical signal and converting the transmitted optical signal to an electric signal and a decoding unit used for decoding the electric signal to obtain a data signal. According to the server, through the optical communication devices, data interaction between the computation module and the storage module through an optical communication way is realized. A wired connection is avoided, the risk of damage to the connector due to plugging and unplugging can be avoided, and the flexibility for structural design of the server can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication applications, in particular to a server. Background technique [0002] In the server system design, the storage system and the computing system are separated. In the prior art, connectors and cables are used to complete the connection between the computing nodes and the storage nodes, so as to realize the connection between the storage system and the computing system. Information data transfer between. However, connectors and cables are used to connect different boards of the server, which not only increases the risk of damage to the connectors when plugging and unplugging the boards, but also complicates the structural design and assembly of the server system. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a server that performs data interaction between the server storage node and the computing node in the form of optical communication, elimina...
