[0083] The following description of certain embodiments presents various descriptions of specific embodiments. However, the innovation described herein can be embodied in a variety of different ways, such as defined and covered by the claims. In this description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals can indicate the same or functionally similar elements. It will be understood that the elements illustrated in the accompanying drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In addition, it will be understood that some embodiments may include more elements than the elements illustrated in the accompanying drawings and / or a subset of the elements illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In addition, some embodiments may incorporate any suitable combination of features from two or more drawings. Any suitable principles and advantages of the embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented together with each other. The titles provided herein are for convenience only and are not intended to affect the meaning or scope of the claims.

[0084] The present disclosure generally relates to computing systems. Certain computing systems may be used for high performance computing and / or computing intensive applications, such as neural network training, neural network reasoning, machine learning, artificial intelligence, complex simulations, and the like. In some applications, a computing system may be used to perform neural network training. For example, such neural network training may be data generated by an autonomous driving system of a vehicle (e.g., a car), other autonomous driving vehicle functionality, or advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functionality.

[0085] Certain computing systems may include various hierarchical structures to perform computing tasks. For example, a computing system may include computing blocks, system trays, and cabinets, each of which includes a plurality of chips packaged together, a system tray including an array of connected computing blocks, and each cabinet including one or more system trays. The computing blocks may include an integrated cooling solution. In some applications, the computing blocks may include a system on wafer and a plurality of voltage regulator modules. The system on wafer may include an array of integrated circuit dies. In some applications, there may be a voltage regulator module that is aligned with each integrated circuit die of the system on wafer and configured to provide power thereto.

[0086] The present disclosure relates to computing blocks that connect adjacent racks of a computing system. The computing blocks and racks disclosed herein can be configured for high performance computing applications.

[0087] Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a blind connector system for a computing cabinet. The blind connector system allows an external tool to make a blind connection between computing blocks in adjacent cabinets. The blind connector system may include a bracket tube, such as an extruded tube, sized for insertion of an external tool. When the external tool is positioned within the bracket tube, the external tool may connect a connector to the computing block to connect computing blocks of adjacent computing cabinets.

[0088] Using an external tool to connect the blind connector to the compute block can replace multiple actuators in certain other technical solutions. The number of parts of the compute cabinet is reduced by not including an actuator in the compute cabinet to align the blind connector with the compute block connector, which can reduce the complexity of the compute cabinet. Utilizing an external tool to connect the blind connector can also reduce the overall space occupied by the blind connector in the compute cabinet and / or between adjacent compute cabinets. The external tool can be improved over time to improve the blind connection at a later stage, such as after the compute cabinet has been installed.

[0089] Using an external tool, one side of the blind connector can be connected to a computing block in a first computing cabinet, and then the other side of the blind connector can be sequentially connected to another computing block in a second computing cabinet. It may be advantageous to independently connect the opposite sides of the blind connection. For example, it may be less difficult to align one side of the blind connector with the corresponding connector of the computing block at a time. As another example, connecting each side of the blind connector individually may require less force than connecting both sides of the blind connector at the same time. Relative to connecting both sides of the blind connector at the same time, the force can be reduced by approximately half by sequentially connecting each side of the blind connector. In addition, independently connecting the opposite sides of the blind connection can enable the computing cabinet to be maintained without interfering with adjacent computing cabinets.

[0090] Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a blind connector system for a computing cabinet. The blind connector system can pull back the blind connector in the Y dimension (generally referred to herein as "Y pullback") to provide space for inserting and / or removing a system tray from the computing cabinet. Using the Y pullback of the blind connector system, the clearance for inserting and / or removing the system tray can be increased. In some embodiments, the Y pullback can be implemented in conjunction with connecting the blind connector using an external tool.

[0091] Blind connector system for computing cabinets

[0092] High performance in computing can be severely constrained by the signal integrity requirements of high-speed signals. Close proximity of computing nodes is very important to achieve ideal signal integrity for high-speed signals.

[0093] The computing system disclosed herein can reduce or eliminate mechanical constraints on electrical connections between computing blocks in different cabinets. The cabinets can include openings through which electrical connectors connect computing blocks located in adjacent cabinets. This can enable electrical connections from computing blocks to computing blocks over short distances between cabinets.

[0094] Figure 1A A cabinet 102 according to an embodiment is illustrated. A blind connector assembly 104 can extend through an opening in the cabinet 102. One end of the blind connector assembly 104 can be connected to a computing block in the cabinet 102, and the other end of the blind connector assembly 104 can be connected to a computing block in an adjacent cabinet. The blind connector assembly 104 can include an adjustment component, such as Figure 2A The Y adjustment plate 202, the X adjustment plate 204 and the Z adjustment plate 206 are shown in FIG.

[0095] The cabinet 102 may include a bracket tube 110 located inside the cabinet 102 near the opening. The bracket tube 110 may be referred to as an "extrusion tube." The bracket tube 110 may provide access to one end of the blind connector assembly 104. The bracket tube 110 may be sized to receive an assembly tool, such as a Figure 4 The assembly tool 400 described in . The assembly tool can adjust the alignment of the blind connector assembly 104, connect the blind connector assembly 104 to the computing block, and / or disconnect the blind connector assembly 104 from the computing block.

[0096] Each side of the blind connector assembly 104, such as a first side accessible via a first bracket tube 110 in the cabinet 102 and a second side accessible via a second bracket tube 110 in the cabinet 102. Figure 1AThe second side accessible by the second bracket tube 110 in the cabinet (not shown) can be individually adjusted, aligned, connected to the computing block, and / or disconnected from the computing block by the assembly tool. The connection and / or disconnection of the first side to the computing block and any adjustment of the first side can be performed when the second side is connected to the computing block in the second cabinet. Cabinets (such as cabinet 102 and adjacent cabinets ( Figure 1A )) may be misaligned in one or more dimensions, and adjusting the blind connector assembly 104 may compensate for the misalignment.

[0097] Figure 1A Two bracket tubes 110 of the cabinet 102 are shown in FIG. Figure 1A In the embodiment, each bracket tube 110 can provide access to three connector assemblies 104 for connecting three computing blocks in the cabinet 102 to three computing blocks in the adjacent cabinet ( Figure 1A 100). Each computing block may include an on-wafer system and an integrated cooling system. Six computing blocks may be positioned on a structural bus, and each illustrated support tube 110 of the cabinet 102 may provide access to three of the computing blocks on the structural bus. The computing cabinet 102 may also include additional support tubes positioned vertically relative to the illustrated support tubes 110 to provide access to computing blocks that are positioned vertically relative to the computing blocks to which the illustrated support tubes 110 provide access. Any suitable number of support tubes 110 and computing blocks may be included in the cabinet 102 for a particular application.

[0098] Figure 1BAn example system tray 150 according to an embodiment is illustrated. The system tray 150 may include an array of computing blocks 152 connected together and supported by the system tray 150. In some embodiments, each computing block 152 includes an on-wafer system that includes an array of dies integrated with a cooling solution (e.g., a cold plate). For example, the on-wafer system may include 16, 25, 36, or 49 dies that are arranged to perform computing functions in various applications. In some applications, the computing block 152 may include an array of voltage regulator modules, each of which may provide a power supply voltage to a corresponding integrated circuit die of the on-wafer system. Depending on some applications, the on-wafer system may be positioned between a cold plate and another cooling component to dissipate heat, remove heat, or otherwise reduce the temperature of components of the computing block 152 during operation. The computing block 152 may be referred to as a training block in a neural network training application. Each computing block 152 of the system tray 150 may be operated individually. Thus, if a computing block 152 of the system tray 150 fails and / or is removed from the system tray 150, the system tray 150 can continue to operate. Any suitable number of computing blocks 152 can be connected to each other on the system tray 150. For example, Figure 1B Six computing blocks 152 are illustrated that are connected to each other. The system tray 150 may have relatively high computing capabilities.

[0099] The system tray 150 may include an intra-tray signal delivery cable 154 to facilitate communication between the computing blocks 152 of the system tray 150. The intra-tray signal delivery cable 154 may include one or more redundant connections. For example, the computing blocks 152 may be connected together via multiple intra-tray signal delivery cables 154. In this way, if the intra-tray signal delivery cable 154 fails and / or is removed, and / or the computing block 152 fails and / or is removed, the system tray 150 may continue to operate.

[0100] In the system tray 150, adjacent computing blocks 152 are connected to each other via intra-tray signal delivery cables 154. If a computing block 152 fails, other computing blocks 152 on the system tray 150 can still operate. For example, adjacent computing blocks 152 can route signals to the running (multiple) computing blocks to perform computing tasks and / or route signals to bypass the failed computing block 152. The computing blocks 152 may include connectors around their edges. The connectors of the computing blocks 152 may be connected to the blind connector assembly 104 to connect the computing blocks 152 of two system trays 150 to each other. The system tray 150 may include an integrated cooling component to control the temperature of the computing blocks 152.

[0101] Figure 2AThe blind connector assembly 104 according to an embodiment is illustrated. The blind connector assembly 104 may include a connector cable 208 that electrically connects the two halves of the blind connector assembly 104. The connector cable 208 may be an insulated electrical conductor suitable for transmitting electrical signals between computing blocks. The connector cable 208 may be flexible, thereby allowing the first half of the blind connector assembly 104 to move relative to the other half of the blind connector assembly 104 along one or more dimensions.

[0102] The blind connector assembly 104 includes a computing block connector 210. Each connector cable 208 can be coupled to a computing block connector 210 on each end of the connector cable 208. The computing block connector 210 can correspond to a connector on a computing block such that when a computing block connector 210 of the blind connector assembly 104 is coupled to a corresponding connector, an electrical path is established from a first computing block through the first block connector 210, the connector cable 208, and the second computing block connector 210 to a second computing block. As illustrated, the blind connector assembly 104 can include multiple computing block connectors 210 and connector cables 208.

[0103] Each half of the blind connector assembly 104 may include a Y adjustment plate 202, an X adjustment plate 204, a Z adjustment plate 206, an X detector 214, and a connector housing 212. The connector housing 212 may physically couple a compute block connector 210 to the half of the blind connector assembly 104. The compute block connector 210 may be fixed to the Y adjustment plate 202. The Y adjustment plate 202 may adjust the half of the blind connector assembly 104 relative to a first dimension. The Y adjustment plate 202 may be connected to the X adjustment plate 204. The X adjustment plate 204 may adjust the half of the blind connector assembly 104 relative to a second dimension orthogonal to the first dimension. The X adjustment plate 204 may be connected to the Z adjustment plate 206. The Z adjustment plate 206 may adjust the half of the blind connector assembly 104 relative to a third dimension orthogonal to the first and second dimensions. As described below, Z adjustment plate 206 may interact with an assembly tool to adjust the halves of blind connector assembly 104 to couple computing block connectors 210 to the blocks and / or decouple computing block connectors 210 from the computing blocks.

[0104] The blind connector assembly 104 includes an X-detector 214. The X-detector 214 can help facilitate alignment of the halves of the blind connector assembly 104 in at least the second dimension. In some embodiments, the X-detector 214 can also help facilitate alignment of the halves of the blind connector assembly 104 in one or more other dimensions, such as the first dimension. The X-detector 214 can include one or more magnets. Each system tray can include a magnetic area that interacts with the X-detector 214 to establish a rough alignment in one or more dimensions. The Y adjustment plate 202, the X adjustment plate 204, and the Z adjustment plate 206 can then be used to provide precise alignment between the halves of the blind connector assembly 104 and the computing blocks on the system tray.

[0105] Figure 2B Illustrated is a perspective view of a portion of a blind connector assembly 104 according to an embodiment. Figure 2B Ten connector cables 208 are illustrated connecting ten sets of compute block connectors 210. As illustrated, the compute block connectors 210 are housed in a connector housing 212 that is connected to the Y adjustment plate 202.

[0106] Figure 2C A perspective view of a Z adjustment plate 206 according to an embodiment is illustrated. As illustrated, the Z adjustment plate 206 can include an adjuster 252. The adjuster 252 can interface with an assembly tool to facilitate adjusting the alignment of the blind connector assembly 104, the connection of the blind connector assembly 104 to the computing block, and / or the disconnection of the blind connector assembly 104 from the computing block.

[0107] Figure 3 A perspective view of a bracket tube 110 according to an embodiment is illustrated. As illustrated, the bracket tube 110 can be divided into three sections corresponding to the three blind connector assemblies 104 connected to the respective computing blocks. The bracket tube 110 can include any suitable number of such sections. Each section of the bracket tube 110 can include a set of alignment pins 302. The alignment pins 302 can align the alignment structure of the blind connector assembly 104 with the bracket tube 110. Each section of the bracket tube 110 can include a set of alignment holes 300. As shown in FIG. Figure 4 As described in more detail in , the alignment holes 300 may facilitate alignment of an assembly tool with the blind connector assembly 104 .

[0108] Figure 4 A perspective view of an assembly tool 400 according to an embodiment is shown. Figure 6A-6CAs described in more detail in , the assembly tool 400 and / or the disassembly tool 650 can adjust the alignment of the blind connector assembly 104, connect the blind connector assembly 104 to the computing block, and / or disconnect the blind connector assembly 104 from the computing block. The assembly tool 400 can be inserted into the bracket tube 110 to interact with the blind connector assembly 104.

[0109] The assembly tool 400 may include alignment feature sets 402 (e.g., alignment bumps) positioned on both sides of the assembly tool 400. The distance between the alignment feature sets 402 on the assembly tool 400 may correspond to the distance between the set of alignment holes 300 on the bracket tube 110. The alignment feature sets 402 may interact with the set of alignment holes 300 to keep the assembly tool 400 aligned with the blind connector assembly 104 in the bracket tube 110. When interacting with the set of alignment holes 300, the alignment feature sets 402 may provide feedback, such as tactile and audio feedback, indicating that the assembly tool 400 is aligned with the blind connector assembly 104.

[0110] The alignment feature set 402 may disengage from the set of alignment holes 300 in response to a force on the assembly tool 400. For example, a force pushing the assembly tool 400 further into the bracket tube 110 may cause the alignment feature set 402 to disengage from the set of alignment holes 300. The feedback may allow a user of the assembly tool 400 to know which blind connector assembly 104 the assembly tool 400 is aligned with. For example, the user may insert the assembly tool 400 into the bracket tube 110 until a first feedback indicates alignment with a first blind connector assembly 104, or push the assembly tool 400 further into the bracket tube 110 until the feedback indicates alignment with a second blind connector assembly 104, a third blind connector assembly 104, etc.

[0111] Figure 5 The blind connector assembly set 104 is illustrated positioned on a bracket tube 110 . Figure 5 Three sets of alignment holes 300 are shown, with alignment holes 300a corresponding to blind connector assembly 104a, alignment holes 300b corresponding to blind connector assembly 104b, and alignment holes 300c corresponding to blind connector assembly 104c. Thus, to adjust blind connector assembly 104a, an adjustment tool 400 may be aligned with alignment holes 300a.

Figure 6B , the assembly tool 400 may include alignment feature groups 402 positioned on both sides of the assembly tool 400. As described above, the distance between the alignment feature groups 402 on the assembly tool 400 may correspond to the distance between the set of alignment holes 300 on the bracket tube 110. The alignment feature groups 402 may interact with the set of alignment holes 300 to keep the assembly tool 400 aligned with the blind connector assembly 104 in the bracket tube 110. When interacting with the set of alignment holes 300, the alignment feature groups 402 may provide feedback, such as tactile and audio feedback, indicating that the assembly tool 400 is aligned with the blind connector assembly 104.

[0116] The alignment feature set 402 can disengage from the set of alignment holes 300 in response to a force on the assembly tool 400. For example, a force pushing the assembly tool 400 further into the bracket tube 110 can cause such a disengagement. The feedback can allow a user of the assembly tool 400 to know which blind connector assembly 104 the assembly tool 400 is aligned with. For example, the user can insert the assembly tool 400 into the bracket tube 110 until the first feedback indicates alignment with the first blind connector assembly 104, or push the assembly tool 400 further into the bracket tube 110 until the feedback indicates alignment with the second blind connector assembly 104, the third blind connector assembly 104, etc.

[0136] Blind Connector Assembly with Y Pullback

[0137] As discussed above, high performance in computing may be significantly limited by the high signal integrity requirements of high-speed signals. Close proximity of computing nodes is very important to achieve ideal signal integrity of high-speed signals. Therefore, the distance between computing components (such as computing blocks) within a cabinet can affect the computing power of the cabinet and / or computing system. Therefore, the space within the cabinet may be limited.

[0138] The blind connectors described herein can accommodate confined spaces within a cabinet by providing a Y-pullback of the blind connector. The Y-pullback can move the blind connector to a retracted position. When the blind connector is in the retracted position, the cabinet can have sufficient space for inserting a system tray including an array of connected computing blocks into the cabinet. When the blind connector is in place to connect to a computing block, the blind connector can be returned to an unretracted position.

[0139] Fig.16 A blind connector half 700 is illustrated located in a cabinet according to an embodiment. As illustrated, the blind connector half 700 is shown positioned below the block connection interface 1210 on the system tray 1602. The location of the blind connector half 700 may hinder or prevent the system tray 1602 from being removed from the cabinet. For example, if a user attempts to remove the system tray 1602, one or more components of the system tray 1602 may contact and / or collide with the blind connector half 700. Similar technical challenges may exist when inserting the system tray 1602 into the cabinet.

[0140] Figure 17A-17E The Y-pullback on a blind connector half 700 according to an embodiment is illustrated. The Y-pullback can be performed independently on each blind connector half of the connector assembly. Fig.17A , illustrates the blind connector half 700 in a first position. In the first position, the blind connector half 700 is pulled back away from the system tray 1602 and is not aligned with the block connection interface 1210. In the first position, there is a gap between the blind connector half 700 and the system tray 1602. When the blind connector half 700 is in the first position, the system tray 1602 can be inserted into the cabinet and / or removed from the cabinet without colliding with the blind connector half 700. The first position can be referred to as the Y-pullback position.

[0141] See also Fig. 17B , illustrates the blind connector half 700 in a second position. Fig. 17B The second position in can be Fig.17A The first position of Fig. 17C In the second position, the blind connector half 700 is positioned adjacent to the system tray 1602 and aligned with the block connection interface 1210. When the blind connector half 700 is in the second position, the system tray 1602 may collide with the blind connector half 700 if the system tray 1602 is removed from or inserted into the cabinet.

[0142] See also Fig. 17C , illustrates the blind connector half 700 in a third position. In the third position, the blind connector half 700 is connected to the block connection interface 1210 such that the blind connector half 700 is electrically and physically coupled to the block connection interface 1210.

[0143] See also Fig.17D , illustrates the blind connector half 700 in a fourth position. Fig.17D The fourth position in can be Fig. 17C The third position of Fig.17E The fourth position can be a transition state between Fig. 17B In the fourth position, the blind connector half 700 is positioned adjacent to the system tray 1602 and aligned with the block connection interface 1210. When the blind connector half 700 is in the fourth position, the system tray 1602 may collide with the blind connector half 700 if the system tray 1602 is removed from the cabinet.

[0144] See also Fig.17E , illustrates the blind connector half 700 in the fifth position. The fifth position may be with Fig.17A 1602 and the blind connector halves 700. In the fifth position, the blind connector halves 700 are pulled back away from the system tray 1602 and are not aligned with the block connection interface 1210. This can provide clearance between the system tray 1602 and the blind connector halves 700 in the y direction. The fifth position can be referred to as the Y-pull position. When the blind connector halves 700 are in the fifth position, the system tray 1602 can be removed from the cabinet without colliding with the blind connector halves 700.

[0145] Before the user inserts the system tray 1602 into the cabinet, the user can set the blind connector half 700 to Fig.17A For example, a user may use a tool (such as assembly tool 400) to move blind connector half 700 to the first position. Once system tray 1602 is inserted into the cabinet, the user may place blind connector half 700 into the first position. Fig. 17CThe third position of the blind connector half 700 is connected to the block connection interface 1210. For example, the user can use the tool to move the blind connector half 700 to the Fig. 17B and using the tool to push the blind connector half 700 upward to the third position.

[0146] Before the user removes the system tray 1602 from the cabinet, the user may use a tool (such as assembly tool 400) to remove the blind connector half 700 from the cabinet. Fig. 17C The third position is moved into Fig.17D The fourth position of the blind connector half 700 is disconnected from the block connection interface 1210. From the fourth position, the user can use the tool to set the blind connector half 700 to Fig.17E The fifth position of the blind connector half 700 is removed from the path of travel of the system tray 1602. The user can then remove the system tray 1602 without causing the system tray 1602 to collide with the blind connector half 700.

[0147] Fig.18A and Fig.18B A Y-pullback of a portion of a blind connector half 700 is illustrated according to an embodiment. For illustration purposes, Fig.18A and Fig.18B The compute block connector 210 is not shown. Fig.18A and Fig.18B The features of may be applied to any blind connector half 700 disclosed herein.

Fig.18A As shown in FIG. 7 , the adjustment pin 712 is located at one end of the Y-return cam 1002 . Fig.18B The blind connector half 700 is shown with the Y adjustment plate 202 in a non-retracted position. Fig.18B As shown in FIG. 1 , the adjustment pin 712 is located between the Y pull-back cam 1002 and Fig.18A At the end opposite to the position shown in the figure.

[0148] In order to move the Y adjustment plate 202 from Fig.18A The retracted position is changed to Fig.18B The user can use a tool (such as assembly tool 400) to push the adjustment pin 712 from one end of the Y pull-back cam 1002 to the opposite end of the Y pull-back cam 1002. Similarly, in order to move the Y adjustment plate 202 from Fig.18B The non-retracted position is transformed to Fig.18A In the retracted position, the user can use a tool (such as assembly tool 400) to pull the adjustment pin 712 from the opposite end of the Y-return cam 1002 back to the one end of the Y-return cam 1002.
