Compute Devices • Benefits • Simplified chassis and lowest cost chassis design ensures the container part of layer one and not bought for each project • Multiple container sizes can be offered • Allows a processor array to benefit from Infiniband virtualized I/O without requiring the entire network to be uplifted. • Reduced power consumption • Commodity form factor that everyone understands and most motherboard vendors manufacture to • Provides easy I/O trouble shooting due to I/O cables being externalized • Upgrade any single component without having to upgrade the entire chassis. • Contained computing provides cooling efficiencies • Mix and match components, scale out as needed • Simple interfaces for industry partners to build to; minimal re-design effort to integrate existing 1U products • Capability for efficient externalized I/O cable management • Virtualization is a software feature • Can create processor array cache using industry standard components Infiniband I/O Vertical Cooling Brand X Fan Trays • Compute Device • DC Powered • 1U Form Factor • External I/O Cables, ideally all Fiber • 1 to 2 Infiniband Ports per compute device Fan Trays • Unified I/O Fabric • 1U Form Factor in Verari container • Uplinks to unified fabric at 1/10/20 Gbps Ethernet and / or Infiniband • Place I/O blades in any 1U slot • Could place I/O devices in utility space at bottom of chassis. • 2 / 4 Gbps Uplinks to Fiber Channel Fan Trays Redundant Power (208V, 480V, 575V)
