Interfaces,
not brands.

The reference architecture specifies rack, thermal, power, and management interfaces. Accelerator and CPU selection remain procurement decisions taken later, against a market that reprices continually.

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE · PROPOSAL

This describes a proposed reference architecture. It is not a shipping product and no vendor partnership is claimed or implied. Interfaces and standards conformance are specification intent; quantities are design targets.

Design basis
RACK

Standard form factor

Rack, power distribution, and cable management follow open standards so multiple vendors' equipment can populate the same hall.

THERMAL

Coolant interface defined

Supply and return temperature, flow, and connection type are specified so any DLC-capable node can be accommodated.

MANAGEMENT

Open management plane

Out-of-band management and telemetry follow open protocols rather than a single vendor's proprietary stack.

NO PARTNERSHIP

Silicon stays open

No silicon vendor partnership is claimed or implied. Vendor references, where they appear anywhere on this site, are illustrative of class rather than an announced relationship.

Design targets

Integration notes

Specification intent is that a hall can be populated by more than one vendor's accelerators over its life without re-engineering the facility. Vendor-specific performance data is not reproduced here.

Discuss the details.

Specifications evolve as the design matures. Contact us for current status and integration requirements.
