System Architecture
Extending PCIe Transport
To achieve low cost and low power, in R6, we introduce the latest and greatest technology to connect two servers directly with PCIe links via innovative data processors. In this scenario, we eliminate the legacy network adapters (such as NIC, optics and legacy network switches). In typical application, with PCIe networking, we can reduce the number of connection components by 75%.
PCIe Networking and Cloud-on-Board
By the advantage of PCIe networking, we can unified the system-on-board (SoB) connection and the cloud cluster topologies into one single and simple architecture, which we named as Cloud-on-Board (CoB) Architecture.
In the CoB architecture, we can connect CPU directly without additional adapters.
PCIe Extending DPU Cluster：
Platform Architecture
- OVS-DPDK offload into SmartNic (when it applied on the computing cluster)
For R4 Release, we haven't used the Kubernetes component.
IEC Type 5 System Architecture
Roadmap
In R6, we introduce PCIe based data fabric. In the future, we will include CXL or UCIe based as well.
For the hardware components information:
