Hardware Platforms
Within CAPE, two hardware platforms supporting our concept of “Composable Infrastructure for scalable Edge Servers” are developed: The embedded High-Performance Server (eHPS) and the Embedded Micro Data Center (EMDC). Both hardware platforms are based on COM-HPC, an established form factor for embedded modular computing.
Designed for a Composable Infrastructure
- 3 COM-HPC Modules
- 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
