Cnuas Datasheets¶
Product-style datasheets for the Cnuas Virtual AI HPC Infrastructure platform and its components. Each datasheet summarises the emulated device's features, functional specifications, interfaces, and ordering information in a single reference page.
Emulated hardware
Cnuas is a 100% software-emulated virtual AI and HPC infrastructure. Every "device" below is a QEMU/userspace model, not physical silicon. Specification values describe the emulated device as presented to guest software (drivers, verbs, runtimes), so a virtual GPU or NIC behaves like the real part it models. Performance figures are functional/relative, not absolute hardware throughput.
Datasheet library¶
| Datasheet | Part | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cnuas Platform | Platform | Full "datacenter in a box": switches, NICs, GPUs, fabric, host requirements |
| HiSwitch | hicain-vswitchd |
10-port virtual top-of-rack RoCEv2 + InfiniBand switch with in-switch Subnet Manager |
| HiNIC | hicain-vnic |
RoCEv2 + native InfiniBand RDMA virtual NIC (kernel + verbs provider) |
| HiGPU | higpu |
SIMT virtual GPU accelerator with HiIR ISA and CUDA-style runtime |
| HiLink | higpu-link-switchd |
GPU-to-GPU fabric interconnect (NVLink-class model) |
For feature availability and planned work across all components, see the Product Roadmap.
How to read these datasheets¶
Each datasheet follows a consistent layout:
- Overview, one-paragraph description and key features.
- Functional specifications, tabulated parameters (ports, protocols, limits).
- Interfaces, how the device is presented and controlled.
- Software support, drivers, runtimes, tools, and guest-side stack.
- Ordering / integration information, package name, versions, dependencies.
- Revision history.
