AI Technical Summary
Traditional single-chip network cards have limited bandwidth, which cannot meet the high bandwidth requirements of data centers, and the number of network cards can be increased only by the number of PCIe slots that can be allocated on the server platform.
The system adopts a multi-chip network interface card (NIC) design, with each NIC chip connected to a PCIe interface. The switching matrix and controller control the channel access relationship and allocate channels according to the PCIe protocol specification, enabling multiple NIC chips to share a single PCIe interface.
Without affecting the motherboard, the bandwidth of network cards that can be connected to a single motherboard PCIe slot has been increased, meeting the high bandwidth requirements of data centers.
