Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of computers, and in particular to a PCIE expansion board supporting multi-slot double-width GPUs. Background Art
[0002] GPU, full name Graphics Processing Unit, is a microprocessor specially designed to process graphics and image data. It was originally developed to accelerate computer graphics rendering, but over time, the architecture and functionality of GPUs have evolved to handle a wider range of computing tasks, especially excelling in parallel processing. GPUs have hundreds or thousands of cores and can process large amounts of data at the same time, making them ideal for tasks that require a lot of parallel computing. In the field of AI, especially in deep learning, a large number of matrix operations and data parallel operations need to be processed during model training and inference. The parallel processing capabilities of GPUs make them an ideal choice for accelerating these tasks. Deep learning models typically contain a large number of neural network layers, each of which requires a large number of matrix multiplications and activation function calculations. GPUs can efficiently perform these computationally intensive operations, significantly shortening training time and improving the efficiency of model training.
[0003] Traditional server configurations usually rely on the CPU and a limited number of GPUs to handle computing tasks, but as the complexity of tasks increases and the amount of data surges, the computing power of a single GPU is often unable to meet the growing performance requirements. To meet this challenge, GPU servers came into being. These servers are specially designed to support multiple GPU cards to improve computing efficiency through parallel computing and accelerated task processing. However, traditional server architectures have limitations in supporting multi-GPU configurations, such as the limited number of PCIe slots on the motherboard, and the size and heat dissipation requirements of GPU cards pose additional challenges to server design. In addition, the computational data between GPUs connected to the CPU downstream port needs to be processed by the CPU, which may cause the CPU to become a performance bottleneck and increase the latency of data processing. These limiting factors not only affect the flexibility of server configuration, but also restrict its scalability, making it difficult to meet the ever-changing needs of high-performance computing.
