IntroductionIntel Verified Reference Configuration (VRC) are a family of workload-optimized,infrastructure solutions, based on the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor familytargeting today’s complex workloads. This documentpresentsa referenceimplementation for the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor with Intel® vRANBoost,which includes a selection of Dell PowerEdge XR servers and Wind RiverStudio Cloud Platform.When network operators, service providers, cloud service providers, or enterpriseinfrastructure companies choose areference architecture for Virtual Radio AccessNetwork (vRAN) deployment based on a 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® ScalableProcessor with Intel® vRAN Boost, they should be able to deploy various network-function-virtualized applications more securely and easily than ever before.The referenceimplementationsimplifiesdesign choicesfor end usersby bundlinghardware and softwarecomponentstogether,while making high performance morepredictable.This savestime, effort, and expenseof end users whileevaluatinghardware and software options.Additionally, this document features a workload-optimized stack tuned to take fulladvantage of the Intel® architecture foundation.Intel VRCfor vRANThisworkload optimizedVRC is designed to minimize the challenges of infrastructuredeployments and optimization efforts,ensuringbest performance for low latencyvRAN use cases. It defines the software and hardware reference stacks and includesthe FlexRANTMreferencesoftware running as a proxy workload to showcase theperformance and latencies that can be achieved with this solution. RDIMM slots and support for 2 x M.2 NVMe boot devices withoptional RAID1 support, 2 optional 25GbE LAN-on-Motherboard (LoM) ports and 8 Dry Contact Sensors though anRJ-45 connector.The 1U Compute Sleds adds support for one x16 FHHL (FullHeight Half Length) Slot (PCIe Gen5).Figure3: XR8610t 1U Compute SledThe 2U Compute Sled builds upon the foundation of the 1U Sledand adds support for an additional two x16 FHHL slots.These 2 Sled configurations can create both dense computeand dense I/O configurations.Figure4:XR8620t 2U Compute SledThe 2U Sled also provides the ability toaccommodateGPU-optimizedworkloads.This sledded architecture is designed for deployment intotraditional Edge and Cell Site Environments, complementing orreplacing current hardware and allowing for the reuse of existinginfrastructure.DellHardware and Firmware DetailsDetails for vRANsolutionis based on the hardwareconfiguration which showcases the best combination of latestIntel® CPU technology coupled with Intel® platformtechnologies, Intel® Ethernet and Intel® accelerationtechnologies. These technologies are integrated on themotherboard to deliver best-in-class vRAN performance withthe low latency requirements using the Data PlaneDevelopment Kit (DPDK) and Baseband Device (BBdev).Table1shows the Platform Hardware Configuration andTable2provides the Platform Firmware details.Table1: Platform Hardware ConfigurationHardwareDescriptionProcessors20-core or 32-core,4th GenIntel® Xeon® ScalableProcessor with Intel® vRANBoost Partner SolutionDell hasbuilt uponthe successof the previous generation XR11product with a generational improvementbythe introductionof the PowerEdge XR5610.In addition, DellhasdebutedtheXR8000rofferingconfigurable sled options to support theEdge network location.XR5610Like its predecessor, the XR5610 is a short-depth ruggedized,single socket, 1U monolithic server,designedfor the Edge andTelecom workloads.Itsruggeddesign accommodatesmilitaryand defense deploymentsandretail AI including videomonitoring, IoT device aggregation, and PoS analytics.Improvements to the XR5610 include:•A CPU upgrade to the recently announced 4thGenerationIntel® Xeon® Scalable Processor, up to 32cores.•Support for the new 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalableprocessors with Intel® vRAN Boostvariant.•Will embed a vRAN accelerator in the CPU.•A doubling of the memory bandwidth with the upgradefrom DDR4 to DDR5.•Higher performance I/O capabilities with the upgradefrom PCIe Gen 4 to Gen 5.•Dry inputs, common in remote environments to gainsome insights into edge enclosure conditions, such asdoor open alarms, moisture detection, and more.•Support forexpansionoptions such asGPUsandstorage options including SAS, SATA or NVMe.Figure1: Power Edge XR5610 1U ServerXR8000rThe XR8000ris composed of a 2U, short depth, 400mm classChassiswithoptions to choose from1U or 2U half-width hot-swappable ComputeSledswith up to 4 nodes per chassis.
