Patent number: 11907152Abstract: A reconfigurable server includes improved bandwidth connection to adjacent servers and allows for improved access to near-memory storage and for an improved ability to provision resources for an adjacent server. The server includes processor array and a near-memory accelerator module that includes near-memory and the near-memory accelerator module helps provide sufficient bandwidth between the processor array and near-memory. A hardware plane module can be used to provide additional bandwidth and interconnectivity between adjacent servers and/or adjacent switches.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Molex, LLCInventors: Augusto Panella, Allan Cantle, Ray Matyka, John W.

Patent number: 11811168Abstract: The described connector assemblies are useful in wire-to-board systems. Some assemblies include a free-end connector that is attached to a twin-ax cable, and a fixed-end connector that is attached to a board. Embodiments include a free-end terminal set including a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal and a ground plate. The ground plate has a horseshoe shape and provides a ground terminal on opposing sides of the first and second signal terminals. Additionally, embodiments include a locking system between the free-end connector and fixed-end connector, and lead designs for the fixed-end connector utilizing a similar horseshoe shape as that used for the ground plate of the free-end connector.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Molex, LLCInventors: Kirk B. Peloza, Augusto Panella, Dino L McLaughlin, Pu Xie, David L Brunker

Publication number: 20230180424Abstract: A server rack with a plurality of compute nodes is positioned in a facility that includes a spine and the server rack includes a middle of rack ((OR) switch located near the middle of the server rack, vertically speaking. The MOR switch includes a plurality of ports that are connected via passive cables to the compute nodes provided in the server rack. In an embodiment the passive cables are configured to function at 56 Gbps using non-return to zero (NRZ) encoding and each cable may he about of less than 1.5 meters long. An electrical to optical panel (EOP) can be positioned adjacent a top of the server rack and the EOP includes connections to the MOR switch and to the spine, thus the EOP helps connect the MOR switch to the spine. Connections between adjacent server racks can provide for additional compute bandwidth when needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Augusto Panella, Daniel B. Mcgowan, Raymond Matyka, Gregory B. Walz, Kirk B. Peloza
