1.3 Architecture
The Artesyn HPI implementation is provided in the form of a client-server architecture. In the
Centellis CO 31kX and Centellis 4100 system environment the server, called HPI daemon, runs
on the ATCA-M100 shelf manager blade, in the Centellis 2000 it runs on the ATCA-MF105 and
in the Centellis 4410 environment it runs on the SAM1410 blades. In all four systems the client,
which is constituted by the HPI library and an application which links that library, runs on any
node within a shelf. The communication between HPI daemon and HPI client is realized by an
IP-based remote HPI communication protocol.
An HPI client may access one or more HPI daemons, and on the other hand, an HPI daemon
may be accessed by one or more HPI clients. The following figure illustrates this.
