Photonic Resource Unit 1000 (PRU)

---

Drut’s Photonic Resource Unit 1000 (PRU 1000) is engineered to host PCIe devices and connect seamlessly to the Drut Photonic Fabric (PXC) via one or two tFICs. With support for up to 16 PCIe 4.0/3.0 slots, the PRU 1000 offers configurable ports to x8 or x16, accommodating a wide range of PCIe form factor devices including GPUs, FPGAs, SmartNICs, NICs, IPUs, TPUs, and NVMe storage cards.

PRU 1000 Advantages 

• 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).
