OCP Innovation Village - a shining example of OCP's collaborative spirit! This dynamic space celebrates the groundbreaking work of our community members who are actively contributing to OCP Projects and shaping the future of open hardware.
Discover prototype demonstrations from teams working on OCP Accepted™ and OCP Inspired™ innovations. Watch emerging specifications come to life, and connect with fellow contributors who are pushing the boundaries of open infrastructure.
Make sure to visit the Innovation Village Stations at the upcoming 2025 OCP EMEA Summit in Dublin April 29-30!
Server / Composable Memory System:
Better Together: Advancing AI and Hyperscale Workloads with Collaborative Memory Solutions
ZeroPoint Technologies & Rambus
This demonstration showcases the collaborative efforts of OCP community members Rambus and ZeroPoint Technologies, leveraging OCP Community assets and illustrating how community solutions can be "Better Together" to address the challenges of hyperscale data centers. By integrating CXL-based memory expansion, real-time compression, and open-source software, this prototype exemplifies the OCP Hyperscale CXL Tiered Memory Expander specification.
Server / DC-MHS:
Server/MHS: DC-SCM LTPI Switch for Multi-Node Designs
Intel Corporation
Multi-HPM management with a single DC-SCM face design challenges such as how to fan out multiple interfaces from single DC-SCM to multiple HPMs. In this demo, we will show a solution that addresses LTPI interface fanout problem in a fully functional demo integrated on the DC-SCM 2 modules and with OpenBMC firmware.
DC-MHS System Display
Jabil
Our station will display a new 2U DC-MHS inspired chassis. Multiple DC-HPMs, DC-SCMs, NICs, and E3.S FF modules will be available to be swapped in/out of the chassis. Videos showing demo's and exploded views of other DC-MHS Chassis will be available for display on the monitor.
Single SCM and Dual HPM LTPI Solution
Lattice Semiconductor
The demo will show dual node LTPI solution. The LTPI is designed to support two separate HPMs with a single SCM. It also can support two independent LVDS Tunneling Protocols and Interfaces (LTPI) over a single Secure Control Module (SCM) CPLD Design.
Future Technologies Symposium / Tech Demos:
Plasma-Based Cooling: DBD Actuators for Efficient Thermal Management
Yplasma
This station showcases an experimental demonstration of a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuator as an alternative to conventional cooling fans. Attendees will see real-time comparisons of heat dissipation efficiency, airflow patterns, and power consumption. The setup includes visualization tools, simulation data, and insights into optimizing plasma actuators for electronic cooling.
Extreme Storage Media Reliability Test
Cerabyte, Inc.
Submerging Cerabyte media in boiling water and baking it in an oven, with full data recovery; demonstrating the resilience, reliability and longevity of ceramic on glass media technology.
SiPho Based SM AOC Solution for PCIe Fabric
Silith Technology
demo silicon photonic based active optical cable for PCIe 6.0/CXL3.0 connectivity, linear drive and retimed options, with good performance. as a POC for SiPho based SM AOC
MODRAD - Modular Open RAN Radio Unit Development Platform
Massive Beams GmbH
Live demonstration of our Modular Open RAN Radio Unit Platform MODRAD with O-DU emulator and RF spectrum analyser to showcase the downlink performance, flexibility, transparency and modifiability of our platform.
