Abstract
A graphics processing unit (GPU) server having a GPU host head with one or more host graphics processing units (GPUs). The GPU server further has a GPU system with a plurality of system GPUs that are separate from the host GPUs, and that are configured to rapidly accelerate creation of images for output to a display device. The GPU server also has a mounting assembly that integrates the GPU host head and the GPU system into a single GPU server unit. The GPU host head is independently movable relative to the GPU system.
Claims18
A graphics processing unit (GPU) server comprising:
- a GPU host head having one or more host graphics processing units (GPUs);
- a GPU system having a plurality of system GPUs that are separate from the host GPUs, the system GPUs being configured to rapidly accelerate creation of images for output to a display device;
- and
- a mounting assembly that integrates the GPU host head and the GPU system into a single GPU server unit, the GPU host head being independently movable relative to the GPU system;
- wherein the mounting assembly includes a pair of L-shaped frame brackets via which the GPU host head is mechanically connected to the GPU system.
A graphics processing unit (GPU) server comprising:
- a GPU host head having one or more host graphics processing units (GPUs);
- a GPU system having a plurality of system GPUs that are separate from the host GPUs, the system GPUs being configured to rapidly accelerate creation of images for output to a display device;
- and
- a mounting assembly that integrates the GPU host head and the GPU system into a single GPU server unit, the GPU host head being independently movable relative to the GPU system;
- wherein the GPU host head has a movable cover that swings between a closed position and an open position, the movable cover protecting in the closed position one or more fans mounted within the GPU host head.
A graphics processing unit (GPU) server comprising:
- a GPU host head having one or more host graphics processing units (GPUs);
- a GPU system having a plurality of system GPUs that are separate from the host GPUs, the system GPUs being configured to rapidly accelerate creation of images for output to a display device;
- a mounting assembly that integrates the GPU host head and the GPU system into a single GPU server unit, the GPU host head being independently movable relative to the GPU system;
- and
- a power supply unit (PSU) cage attached between the GPU host head and the GPU system, the PSU cage overlaying over a majority of a top surface of the GPU system.
A method for assembling a graphics processing unit (GPU) server, the method comprising:
- providing a GPU host head with one or more host graphic processing units (GPUs);
- providing a GPU system with a plurality of system GPUs that are separate from the host GPUs, the system GPUs being configured to rapidly accelerate creation of images for output to a display device;
- integrating via a mounting assembly both the GPU host head and the GPU system into a single GPU server unit, the GPU host head being independently movable relative to the GPU system;
- attaching a cable management arm (CMA) to a top surface of the GPU system near a rear surface of the GPU system;
- and
- mounting an enclosure cover over the CMA.
