MHS

Project Leads

Shawn Dube, Brian Aspnes

The Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS and MHS) Subproject envisions interoperability between key elements of data center, edge and enterprise infrastructure by providing consistent interfaces and form factors among modular building blocks.

Scope

DC-MHS R1 standardizes a collection of HPM (Host Processor Modules) form-factors and supporting ingredients to allow interoperability of HPMs and platforms.

There are six workstreams that comprise DC-MHS. The objectives of the six workstreams are the following:

• M-HPM (Host Processor Modules) [Mailing List] led by:
  • Brian Aspnes (Intel)
  • Corey Hartman (Dell)
• M-XIO/PESTI (eXtended I/O Connectivity/Peripheral SideBand Tunneling Interface) [Mailing List] led by:
  • Charlie Ziegler (Dell)
  • Javier Lasa (Intel)
• M-PIC (Platform Infrastructure Connectivity) [Mailing List] led by:
  • Tim Lambert (Dell)
  • Cliff DuBay (Intel)
  • Owen Kidd (Dell) - (48V Addendum)
• M-CRPS (Common Redundant Power Supply) [Mailing List] led by:
  • Aurelio Rodriguez Echevarria (Intel)
  • Jon Lewis (Dell)
• M-SIF (Shared InFrastructure) [Mailing List] led by:
  • Dirk Blevins (Intel)
  • Greg Sellman (AMD)
• M-PnP (Modular Plug and Play) [Mailing List] led by:
  • Tim Lambert (Dell)
  • Phil Leech (HPE)

Edge-MHS scope

A collection of specifications defining a collection of Host Processors Module (HPM) form-factors targeting Edge or Telco applications,enabling interoperability of a multitude of spec-compliant HPM designs with multiple chassis designed to accept spec compliant HPMs.

A collection of specifications of ingredients, unique for Edge or Telco applications, associated with direct interfacing to HPMs in support of enabling the above objective.

Specifications shall leverage MHS specifications for the purposes of consistency with differences driven by the needs for Edge and Telco applications.

There is only one workstream that comprises Edge-MHS. Here are the contacts:

• Edge-MHS [Mailing List] led by:
  • Dirk Blevins (Intel)
  • Rodion Naurzalin (HPE)
