Based on the structure shown in fig. 2, the structure of the board card communication connection provided by the embodiment of the invention can be shown in fig. 3. Each computing module and each storage module are in physical communication with an external interface of the switch board card through an Ethernet line (such as Ethernet 0-3) or an optical fiber line (such as optical fiber 0-3), and the computing module and the storage module are in communication with the external interface based on Ethernet communication or optical fiber communication. And the external interface and the interface conversion chip are correspondingly connected based on Ethernet or optical fiber. The exchange chip, the MXM connector and the interface conversion chip are in communication connection through a high-speed differential circuit (such as high-speed differential circuits 0-7). The exchange chip and the logic management chip are connected based on GPIO communication.
The working process of the switch board card provided by the embodiment of the invention is briefly described below in connection with the working scene of the switch board card.
One of the working scenarios of the switch board card is that the computing module writes data into the storage module, and in this working scenario, the flow of data of the switch board card in the working process can refer to fig. 4.
When any computing module writes data into one or more storage modules, the data of the computing module enters an interface conversion chip of the carrier board through an external interface through a network cable (Ethernet or optical fiber), and the interface conversion chip converts a line signal in the form of Ethernet or optical fiber into a signal of a high-speed differential line so as to realize communication with the switching chip based on the high-speed differential line. At this time, the converted data enters the core board through the MXM connector of the carrier board, each high-speed differential circuit on the core board is in butt joint with a port (such as ports 0 to 7) of the switching chip, and the data enters the chip from the port of the switching chip through one of the high-speed differential circuits. The data are distributed to other ports in real time in the exchange chip, and then the data enter the carrier board through the MXM connector by the high-speed differential circuit which is in butt joint with the ports. The interface conversion chip on the carrier plate converts the data transmitted by the high-speed differential line into an Ethernet or optical fiber line form, and writes the data into the storage module through an external interface by a network cable (Ethernet or optical fiber). The port distribution rule inside the exchange chip distributes the received data to which ports, the logic management chip can configure the exchange chip through the GPIO, and the logic management chip can simultaneously configure the port rate of the exchange chip to ensure that the port rate is consistent with the rate of an external interface, thereby preventing communication abnormality.
Another working scenario of the switch board is that the computing module reads data from the storage module, and in this working scenario, the data flow of the switch board in the working process may refer to fig. 5.
When any computing module needs to read the data in one or more storage modules, the data in the corresponding storage module enters the carrier board through the Ethernet or the optical fiber by the external interface, the interface conversion chip on the carrier board converts the signals of the data, and the converted data is sent to the exchange chip on the core board through the MXM connector by the high-speed differential circuit. Ports on the switch chip receive data through the high-speed differential line, and the switch chip immediately distributes the data to other ports. The data then passes through the high-speed differential line and enters the carrier board through the MXM connector. The interface conversion chip performs signal conversion on the data, and the data is transferred to an Ethernet or an optical fiber line from the high-speed differential line and is transmitted to the calculation module through the Ethernet or the optical fiber which is physically connected with the external interface.
Next, a brief description will be given of the sizing of the switch board.
Because different devices have requirements on the size of the switch board, the switch board cannot connect all ports out, so that only the required ports can be pulled to the external interface. And because of various external interface forms required by the equipment, such as gigabit optical fiber, tera optical fiber, gigabit Ethernet, tera Ethernet, 10GBASE-KR, 1000BASE-X and the like, the switch board card has different external interface forms and rates. 10GBASE-KR is a 10Gbps rate backplane transport protocol, and 1000BASE-X is a 1Gbps rate backplane transport protocol.
As devices become smaller, the physical dimensions of the switch card may also vary from device to device. Different board designs are required for different external interface numbers, different external interface forms, different external interface rates and different external dimensions. Meanwhile, the ports of the exchange chip are required to be output to different external interfaces through different interface conversion chips, different power supply units are required to support, wiring rationality on the PCB board also needs to be carefully checked and filtered, the exchange chip needs to radiate heat, and the structure and the fixing mode of the radiator also need to be optimized.

A brief structure of the core board can be shown in fig. 7, where the core board connects all ports of the switch chip to the gold finger through the high-speed differential line. After the core board is inserted into the MXM connector, the golden finger is reliably contacted with the MXM connector, so that reliable data transmission is realized. The core board is integrated with the exchange chip, the logic management chip and the power supply unit A, can be compatible with various exchange board card applications, and can be produced in advance for standby after repeated test verification, and the form (including circuits and PCB wiring) of the core board can be solidified.
