Abstract
A Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)/multi-Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) monitoring/management system includes a computing device having a GPU system with a plurality of GPUs, and a BMC device coupled to the GPU system via a Universal Serial Bus-Network Interface Controller (USB-NIC) path and an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) path. The BMC device performs first log collection operations and inventory operations via the USB-NIC path with the GPU system during initialization of the computing device. During runtime of the computing device that follows the initialization of the computing device, the BMC device performs sensor monitoring operations with the GPU system via the I2C path. During runtime of the computing device, the BMC device performs second log collection operations with the GPU system via the USB-NIC path, and will perform firmware update operations with the GPU system via the USB-NIC path in response to receiving a firmware update request.
