2021: Baikal-S Server Processor Board View

Russian the manufacturer of computer equipment telecommunication and equipment JSC "" Rutek has released boards for launching server processors the company "" Baikal Electronics(Baikal-S BE-S1000), extended testing of their functionality and performance, as well as debugging of the built-in ON UEFI. This was announced by Baikal Electronics TAdviser on October 27, 2021.

The board has one processor socket for the Baikal-S processor, six DDR4 memory channels and 12 memory connectors that support up to the speed of DDR4-3200, as well as a size of up to 128 GB.

The board houses 5 PCIe Gen 4 interfaces with all types of configurations, to check all modes of operation (a total of 14 connectors), USB, UART, JTAG, GPIO, I2C/SMBus2 interfaces, control and test signal lines, an integrated control controller based on the STM32 family microcontroller, indication of the board operation modes and power states of domains in the form L.

The processor is based on the system bus and high-speed peripherals of the fourth generation PCIe Gen4. The processor is a SoC (on-chip system) and has 48 Arm Cortex-A75 cores of the ARM v8-A architecture with a frequency of up to 2.2 GHz, as well as 80 PCIe Gen4 lines, 6 DDR4 memory channels. The processor is manufactured using a 16nm process and has a power consumption of up to 120W.

The developer of engineering boards for Baikal-S processors was LLC, Gaody Rus a Russian independent development center and contract manufacturer. Since electronic engineers 2021, Gaody Rus LLC has been part of an international group of companies. Dannie Group A partnership agreement between Gaodi Rus and Baikal Electronics was signed in October 2021.

Our team specializes in computer engineering and participated in projects with processors of varying degrees of integration. In the process of working on the Baikal-S server, we were very happy to discover its high level of implementation, the deep competence of the developers and the desire of the entire engineering team to create, notes Sergey Zorin, president of the Dannie group of companies.

We see in the design centers with which we have entered into partnership agreements, an effective tool for promoting the idea of ​ ​ import substitution in the segment of server solutions. We work closely with Gaodi Rus and note that colleagues are ahead of schedule, offering solutions based on Russian processors that are only being put on the market. The competencies of our partners are especially valuable to us, since together we will be able to build a partner ecosystem and present solutions for end customers as quickly as possible. We are confident that the problem of import substitution in computer technology is absolutely solved if we act together, noted Andrei Evdokimov, General Director of Baikal Electronics.

The installation of a complex and large board made it possible to install the current equipment. The surface installation production line was originally designed for serial production of server and computer boards. A distinctive feature of the line is the automation of settings and precision three-stage optical control, which allows you to monitor all technological operations - from the application of solder paste to the inspection of installed components. We install computer boards of any complexity. The process lines available in the arsenal of Rutek make it possible to produce both experimental and experimental batches, as well as large-scale orders, Sergey Alexandrov, Deputy General Director of JSC Rutek, disclosed the details.
