Abstract
The invention provides a design method of a modular server motherboard based on a QPI link architecture. In the method, the QPI link architecture is introduced into the design of the server motherboard, processors and the processors and a Northbridge OH are linked through QPI high-speed buses, the server motherboard is divided in a modular way into a CPU board and an IO bottom board, wherein the CPU board comprises a memory slot or an interface providing a memory board sub-module and serves as a calculation sub-module assembly, and the IO bottom board is important FW firmware of data channels linking the CPU and external equipment, power distribution and onboard systems.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to MP server (2-8 road) design field, a kind of combined type server master board method for designing of specific implementation based on the QPI link architecture.
Background technology
In traditional server master board design, mainboard includes CPU, internal memory, chipset, expansion slot and important FW and IO control chip unit.Under the promotion of modularization idea, the internal memory module at first is divided into the memory board module and is occurred on part server.After the QPI framework was introduced in MP server design field, the 2-8 road can have been carried out local whole even fusions design technically, forms product transboundary,
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of motherboard design method based on the QPI link architecture.
The objective of the invention is to realize in the following manner, the QPI link architecture is incorporated in the server master board design, server master board is adopted modular division, the mainboard of server is divided into CPU board and IO base plate, realizing linking by the QPI high-speed bus between the processor, between processor and the north bridge OH, wherein:
CPU board comprises memory bank or the interface of memory board submodule is provided, and becomes the calculating sub module assembly;
The IO base plate is the important FW firmware of data channel, power distribution and plate loading system of link CPU and external unit.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: method of the present invention is at the technical formed product transboundary in local whole even fusions design back that carries out of MP server (2-8 road), can allow the user buy the work that a two-way MP product substitutes low before configuration 4 road MP products with lower cost, necessary if any upgrading, can be at any time be upgraded to 4 tunnel 8 road MP servers even with the mode of expansion module.Avoided purchasing new server once more, reduced space for its deployment, handling cost and purchase cost and risen, other technologies such as combined with virtualization more can realize work such as headachy system applies migration.

Embodiment
Explain below with reference to Figure of description method for designing of the present invention being done.
Mainboard module design philosophy based on the QPI link architecture, on up-to-date server product chipset platform (as Boxboro-EX), the QPI link architecture is introduced in the server design field, linking all between the processor, between processor and the north bridge (IOH) finished based on the QPI high-speed bus, and develop the situation that connector develops from industry, be applicable to that the connector that QPI connects at a high speed is full-fledged, for this realization that designs provides technical guarantee.
Also can be referred to as the mainboard of big modular design based on the mainboard of QPI link architecture, on the basis that traditional modular is divided, the mainboard of server is divided into CPU board and IO base plate once more.
The CPU board that designs under the motherboard design thought based on the QPI link architecture can comprise the interface that memory bank also can provide the memory board submodule, becomes the calculating sub module assembly.
Be to link data channel, power distribution and the important firmwares such as FW of plate loading system of a CPU and an external unit based on the IO base plate major function of this thought design.
Except that the described technical characterictic of instructions, be the known technology of those skilled in the art.
