Single microcontroller based management of multiple compute nodes

摘要

An apparatus for compute module management is described herein. The apparatus includes a host system and a logic solution. The host system includes a central processing unit and a plurality of sensors that collect system management data from multiple interfaces. The logic solution consolidates the system management data to a single format for a single interface and transmits the system management data to a central authority. The central authority includes system management firmware for managing each compute module using the consolidated system management data.

1. An apparatus for compute module management, comprising:
a host system, wherein the host system includes a central processing unit and a plurality of sensors that collect system management data from multiple interfaces; and a logic solution, wherein the logic solution comprises an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) to a platform environment control interface (PECI) converter that collects the system management data from the host system without accessing the central processing unit of the host system, and wherein the I2C to PECI converter transmits the system management data to a central authority, wherein the central authority includes system management firmware for managing each compute module using the collected system management data.
