[0083] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the example embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the present application is not limited by the example embodiments described herein.
[0084] Regarding the layout of the existing GPU server, the front end of the server case is provided with 12 hard disk modules, the rear end of the server case can be provided with a maximum of 8 GPU cards, i.e. 8 half-height single-width GPU cards or 8 full-height single-width GPU cards, then, at the middle position of the depth direction of the server case, from low to high along the height direction, it is CPU module, radiator and wind deflector in turn, and the CPU module and the hard disk module are heat dissipation fans.
[0085] That is, the layout of the existing GPU server is to set the GPU card only at the rear end of the server case, and the number of GPU cards can be a maximum of 8, which is less and cannot meet the computing demand.
[0086] In view of the above situation, the GPU server of the present application optimizes the internal layout of the server case:
[0087] First, the built-in GPU module is arranged above the radiator for cooling the CPU module in the server case, and the built-in GPU module can install four half-height single-width GPU cards side by side along the width direction of the server case.
[0088] Second, ten GPU cards can be arranged at the rear end of the server case by optimizing the mounting structure.
[0089] Third, twelve hard disk modules can be arranged at the front end of the server case, and each hard disk module can choose to install a 3.5-inch hard disk or a GPU computing disk.
[0090] In this way, the number of GPU cards in the server case is increased, and the computing power of the GPU server is improved, thereby solving the above problems.
[0091] First of all, it needs to be pointed out that the width direction X, the height direction Y and the depth direction Z mentioned in the present application are relative to the horizontal insertion of the case frame into the server case.
[0092] The GPU card module is arranged inside the server case, and the GPU card module usually includes a GPU card and an adapter bracket for fixing the GPU card, and the adapter bracket can fix one GPU card, stack two or three GPU cards, etc.; wherein, when the GPU card module is installed in the server case, the GPU card is horizontally placed, i.e. the width direction of the server case is the height of the GPU card, the depth direction of the server case is the length of the GPU card, and the height direction of the server case is the width of the GPU card.
[0093] The standard GPU card refers to a standard card conforming to the PCI-E specification. At present, there are various commonly used specifications of GPU cards. On the basis of the standard GPU card, the height is halved to obtain a half-height GPU card, the length is halved to obtain a half-length GPU card, and the width is doubled to obtain a double-width GPU card. That is, the card with a standard PCI-E socket is referred to as a full-height single-width full-length GPU card. On the basis of the full-height single-width full-length GPU card, the height is halved (the dimension along the width direction of the server case is halved) to obtain a half-height single-width GPU card, and the width is doubled (the dimension along the height direction of the server case is doubled) to obtain a full-height double-width GPU card.
[0094] In addition, the server case in the present application is a standard 2U case. In the server and equipment room, U is the abbreviation of unit, which represents the unit of rack size or external size of the server, and 1U is equal to 4.445 cm.
[0095] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of the present application discloses a GPU server, which comprises a server case 100 and a built-in GPU module 60. The CPU module is arranged at the middle position of the server case 100 in the depth direction Z. The heat sink 300 for dissipating heat of the CPU module is arranged above the CPU module. The built-in GPU module 60 is arranged above the heat sink 300 in the height direction Y of the server case 100 and extends in the width direction X of the server case 100. The built-in GPU module 60 comprises four first GPU card modules 10. The four first GPU card modules 10 are arranged side by side in the width direction X of the server case 100. The first GPU card module 10 comprises a first GPU card 11, and the first GPU card 11 is a half-height single-width GPU card.
[0096] That is, as described above, in the existing server case, the CPU module, the heat sink for dissipating heat of the CPU module and the air duct are arranged at the middle position in the depth direction. In view of this layout, the air duct is removed, and the heat sink is replaced by a 1U height heat sink (which can be a 1U height fin heat sink). In this way, the space above the heat sink at the middle position of the server case is left, and the space can be used to install the built-in GPU module.
[0097] The built-in GPU module extends in the width direction of the server case, and the built-in GPU module can be provided with four half-height single-width GPU cards side by side.
[0098] Specifically, the built-in GPU module comprises four first GPU card modules arranged side by side. Each first GPU card module comprises a first GPU card, and the first GPU card is a half-height single-width GPU card.
[0099] The embodiment of the application provides a GPU server, which comprises a server case, and a built-in GPU module is arranged in the server case; wherein, a CPU module is arranged at the middle position of the server case in the depth direction, and a radiator is arranged above the CPU module for heat dissipation; then, the built-in GPU module of the embodiment is arranged above the radiator and extends along the width direction of the server case; according to the standard width size of the server case and the size of the GPU card, four first GPU card modules can be arranged side by side along the width direction of the server case, each first GPU card module comprises a first GPU card, and the first GPU card is a half-height single-width GPU card.
[0100] That is, the embodiment optimizes the inside of the server case of the GPU server, can replace the radiator for heat dissipation of the CPU module with a 1U radiator with lower height, so that the space above the radiator can be used for mounting the built-in GPU module; and the built-in GPU module is mounted above the radiator, and the radiator fan arranged beside the radiator can also dissipate heat for the radiator and the built-in GPU module, which meets the heat dissipation requirement, so that by arranging the built-in GPU module with four half-height single-width GPU cards arranged side by side above the radiator, the GPU server of the embodiment increases the number of GPU cards and improves the computing performance, and solves the technical problem that the number of GPU cards in the existing GPU server is small and cannot meet the computing requirement.
[0101] Regarding the installation of the built-in GPU module 60, in a specific embodiment, the built-in GPU module 60 comprises a mounting bracket 61 for mounting the four first GPU card modules 10 side by side; wherein, along the width direction of the server case 100, both ends of the mounting bracket 61 are respectively provided with bracket side plates 62, which are arranged in parallel with the case side plates 101 of the server case 100; and one side of the bracket side plate 62 facing the case side plate 101 is provided with a hanging nail 63, and one side of the case side plate 101 facing the bracket side plate 62 is provided with a clamping groove 102 for clamping and mounting the hanging nail 63.
[0102] In summary, the four first GPU card modules of the built-in GPU module can be modularly mounted through the mounting bracket.
[0103] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5, the mounting bracket can be, for example, in the form of a groove, the inside of the groove is used to place four first GPU card modules side by side, the mounting bracket extends along the width direction of the server case and is lapped on the case side plates on both sides of the server case; wherein, along the width direction of the server case, both ends of the mounting bracket are provided with bracket side plates, the bracket side plates are arranged in parallel with the case side plates, that is, arranged in the vertical direction, then, one side of the bracket side plate facing the case side plate is provided with a hanging nail, correspondingly, one side of the case side plate facing the bracket side plate is provided with a clamping groove; the clamping groove extends downward along the height direction of the server case from the end of the case side plate, and then extends horizontally towards, for example, the front end of the server case, so that when the mounting bracket is installed, it can be first inserted vertically into the clamping groove, and then pushed horizontally, that is, the clamping installation of the mounting bracket is realized, or in other words, pre-installation, and then the mounting bracket can be fastened to the server case by fastening screws and the like.
[0104] It can be seen that the built-in GPU module can realize the modular installation of four first GPU card modules by setting the mounting bracket, and simplify the installation and disassembly process.
[0105] Regarding the heat dissipation of the built-in GPU module 60, in a specific embodiment, the GPU server includes a heat dissipation module 400, which is arranged beside the built-in GPU module 60 and on the side of the built-in GPU module 60 facing the front end of the server case 100, so that the heat dissipation module 400 simultaneously dissipates heat for the heat sink 300 and the built-in GPU module 60; wherein, the heat dissipation module 400 includes four heat dissipation fans 401, which are installed side by side along the width direction of the server case 100; and one end of the mounting bracket 61 facing the heat dissipation fans 401 is provided with an air inlet 64, and the heat dissipation fans 401 at both ends along the width direction X of the server case 100 are provided with anti-backflow foam between the heat dissipation fans 401 and the case side plates 101 (not shown in the figure).
[0106] That is, since the built-in GPU module is arranged above the CPU module, the heat dissipation problem of the built-in GPU module can be solved by using the heat dissipation module for the CPU module; wherein, the heat dissipation module is arranged beside the built-in GPU module and on the side of the built-in GPU module facing the front end of the server case.
[0107] Specifically, the heat dissipation module includes four heat dissipation fans installed side by side, and one end of the above-mentioned mounting bracket facing the heat dissipation fans is provided with four air inlets, the four air inlets correspond one-to-one to the four first GPU card modules, and the other end of the mounting bracket away from the heat dissipation fans can be provided in a hollow manner, which is beneficial to the flow of cooling air.
[0108] Among them, considering the need to simultaneously dissipate heat for the built-in GPU module and the CPU module, refer to Figure 13The heat dissipation fan 401 can be specifically an 8056 fan formed by two 8028 fans connected in series, i.e., a single-rotor fan connected in series to form a double-rotor fan.
[0109] In addition, the server case can be provided with a case air inlet 103 corresponding to the position of the heat dissipation module, and a case air outlet 104 at the rear end of the server case. For example, the case air inlet 103 and the case air outlet 104 are specifically provided on the side plate of the server case.
[0110] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figures 6-11 The second embodiment of the present application discloses a GPU server, which comprises a server case 100 and a power supply module 500. The power supply module 500 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the server case 100, and the power supply module 500 is located at one end in the width direction of the server case 100. Along the height direction X of the server case 100, a pair of second GPU card modules 20 is arranged above the power supply module 500 and arranged side by side in the width direction X of the server case 100. At the other end in the width direction X of the server case 100, a pair of third GPU card modules 30 is arranged side by side in the width direction X of the server case 100. The second GPU card module 20 comprises two second GPU cards 21 stacked up and down, and the second GPU card 21 is a half-height single-width GPU card. The third GPU card module 30 comprises three third GPU cards 31 stacked up and down, and the third GPU card 31 is a full-height single-width GPU card or a half-height single-width GPU card.
[0111] That is, in summary, at the rear end of the server case, the present embodiment can arrange four half-height single-width GPU cards in the space above the power supply module, and at the same time, the present embodiment can arrange six half-height single-width or full-height single-width GPU cards in the space on one side of the power supply module, so that the number of GPU cards arranged at the rear end of the server case can reach ten.
[0112] Specifically, at the rear end of the server case, the power supply module is located at one end in the width direction of the server case, and then a pair of second GPU card modules can be arranged side by side in the space above the power supply module, wherein each second GPU card module comprises two second GPU cards stacked up and down, and the second GPU card should be a half-height single-width GPU card.
[0113] Then, a pair of third GPU card modules can be arranged side by side in the space on one side of the power supply module, wherein each third GPU card module comprises three third GPU cards stacked up and down, and the third GPU card can be a half-height single-width GPU card or a full-height single-width GPU card.
[0114] That is, considering the size of the GPU card (specifically the half-height and full-height size of the GPU card) and the width size of the server case (the width size of the server case is fixed at 446.6 mm), along the width direction of the server case, the width size of the server case is not enough to accommodate four full-height GPU cards side by side, because the height size of one full-height GPU card is 126.3 mm, and when four full-height GPU cards are placed side by side, the overall size will exceed the width size of the server case; therefore, the embodiment arranges a pair of second GPU card modules side by side in the space above the power module, wherein the second GPU cards in the second GPU card modules are half-height GPU cards, and the embodiment arranges a pair of third GPU card modules side by side in the space on one side of the power module, wherein the third GPU cards in the third GPU card modules can be full-height GPU cards.
[0115] That is, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 , along the width direction of the server case, the embodiment arranges two full-height GPU cards and two half-height GPU cards side by side, and the overall size of the two full-height GPU cards and the two half-height GPU cards when placed side by side is actually 413 mm, which is less than the width size of the server case of 446.6 mm.
[0116] In a specific embodiment, the power module 500 includes a power case 501 and a power supply 502 mounted on the power case 501; wherein the power case 501 is arranged at the end of the power supply 502 facing the outside of the server case 100, and the second GPU card module 20 includes a second adapter bracket 22 for fixedly mounting the second GPU card 21; wherein along the depth direction Z of the server case 100, the outer end of the second GPU card 21 is arranged inwardly relative to the outer end of the second adapter bracket 22 (see Figure 8 and Figure 11 for details), so that the second GPU card 21 avoids the power case 501.
[0117] That is, above the power module, in order to successfully realize the installation of a pair of second GPU card modules along the height direction of the server case, the embodiment can specifically arrange the second GPU card in the second GPU card module inwardly relative to the power module, so that the outer end of the second GPU card avoids the power case, reducing the installation height, thereby realizing the installation of a pair of second GPU card modules.
