More Information
Summary:A system includes a rack with multiple hardware acceleration devices and at least one modular controller coupled together into one or more particular processing systems. Each modular hardware acceleration device includes multiple hardware accelerators, such as graphical processing units (GPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or other specialized processing circuits. In each modular hardware acceleration device, the multiple hardware accelerators are communicatively coupled to a multi-port connection device, such as a switch, that is also communicatively coupled to at least two external ports of the modular hardware acceleration device. A modular controller of a particular processing system coordinates operation of hardware accelerators of multiple hardware acceleration devices included in the particular processing system to provide advanced processing capabilities. Modular hardware acceleration devices may be added to or taken away from particular processing systems to adjust advanced processing capabilities of the particular processing systems.
