Huawei launches open-access SuperPoD architecture for all-scenario computing
Huawei has launched its new SuperPoD architecture, as well as multiple related products including cards, modules, servers and clusters. The company aims to collaborate with more industry players to create a solid computing backbone for all scenarios using this new architecture.
Huawei’ s new SuperPoD architecture is based on its UnifiedBus protocol, which delivers a number of notable new features, including strong resource pooling, scaling and long-term stability.
Yang Chaobin, Huawei’ s Director of the Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, explained:“ Huawei has developed the groundbreaking SuperPoD architecture based on our UnifiedBus interconnect protocol. This architecture deeply interconnects physical servers so that they can learn, think and reason like a single logical server. This has created a new paradigm for large-scale compute that is more efficient, reliable and scalable.
“ Using SuperPoD, we will be able to advance innovation under our Ascend umbrella and develop a full lineup of SuperPoD products.
“ These products will provide compute for large data centres, enterprise data centres and small-size workstations, and so, SuperPoD technology will benefit every industry. At the same time, we are committed to our open-hardware and open-source-software approach that will help more partners develop their own industryscenario-based SuperPoD solutions. This will accelerate developer innovation and foster a thriving ecosystem.”
