Hardware Platforms

  • Within CAPE, two hardware platforms supporting our concept of “Composable Server Infrastructure” are developed:
  • Based on COM-HPC, an established form factor for embedded modular computing, CAPE’s hardware platforms can be equipped with a variety of compute platforms.

Designed for a Composable Infrastructure

eHPS: embedded High Performance Server​

  • PCIe Gen6 Switch with CXL support
  • One central Board Management Controller (BMC)
  • PCIe expansion slots for additional peripherals or chassis interconnect via PCIe fabric over fibre

EMDC: Embedded Micro Data Center

  • 8 COM-HPC Modules
  • PCIe Gen6 Switch with CXL support
  • One central Backplane Board Management Controller (BPBMC)
  • PCIe expansion slots for additional peripherals or chassis interconnect via PCIe fabric over fibre
