Drut Photonic Resource Unit 1000 (PRU)

Drut’s Photonic Resource Unit 1000 is designed to host PCIe devices. The PRU 1000 supports connections to the PXC with one or two FIC 1000s. A PRU 1000 supports up to four (4) PCIe 4.0 slots. Users can fill the PRU 1000 with PCIe form factor devices such as GPUs, FPGAs, SmartNICs, NICs, IPUs, TPUs, and NVME storage cards.  

• Heterogeneous Device Support: Deploy a mix of PCIe device types from various manufacturers and compose machines tailored to specific workloads.
• Discreet Upgrade Paths: Upgrade individual resource pools independently of the server/CPU complex.
• Better Resource Utilization: Dynamically compose machines with resources around workload requirements, achieving superior efficiency over traditional stacked architectures.
• Attach/Detach Capability: Dynamically attach or detach PCIe resources from services using Drut’s Fabric Manager (DFM).
