Abstract: The present disclosure provides flexible coupling of processor modules. An exemplary computing device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, can include a processor module with a plurality of processors and a plurality of module output ports associated with each processor. Each of the processors can include a plurality of chip communication channels (CCCs). The CCCs can be coupled to the module output ports of a first processor and can be coupled to other processors in the plurality of processors. The present disclosure additionally provides for a local mode or cooperative mode configuration. A local mode provides for a four-way connection between four processors and a cooperative mode provides for an eight-way connection between eight processors.

Abstract: A dual CMC structure is disclosed for a rack mounted structure. The structure has a first chassis with power supplies, a first chassis management controller, and a first set of network devices. A second chassis includes power supplies, a second chassis management controller and a second set of network devices. The respective chassis management controllers obtain status data of the power supplies, as well as status data from the other chassis management controllers. The first chassis management controller is designated as the master controller and reports the status data from both the first and second chassis. The structure is operable to change communication of the status data to the second chassis management controller, in the event the first chassis management controller fails.

Abstract: A rack server system controlled by a remote controller includes a number of server units and a middle plane board. Each of the server units includes a baseboard management controller (BMC), a server-end connector, and a server-end switch, coupled to the BMC and the server-end connector for regulating communication operation therebetween. The middle plane board includes an integrated connector and a plane-end switch, coupled to the server-end switches of each of the server units and the integrated connector for regulating communication operation thereamong. The remote controller is coupled to the rack server system via one of the integrated connector and the server-end connectors and manages the communication operation of the server units.

Abstract: A physiological and physical movement detection apparatus for detecting physiological conditions of a human body and environment information during exercises includes a sensor and a fixing element. The sensor includes a sensing module, a physiological signal sensor, a physical movement sensing module, a positioning module, a micro-processor and a wireless transmission module. The micro-processor includes a computing unit and a storage unit. The computing unit computes each signal of the physiological signal sensor, movement sensing module and positioning module to produce and store display data into the storage unit. When a remote device is online, the display data are outputted to the remote device through the wireless transmission module; when the remote device is not online, the display data are stored in the storage unit to prevent losing the sensed data.
