Every year on October 14, World Standards Day arrives as scheduled. This day aims to widely promote the significance of standardization and actively advance the broad application of standardization worldwide. It is like a precious gift dedicated to the thousands of standardization professionals around the world.

The Global Computing Consortium (GCC) shoulders the mission of promoting open innovation in the computing industry, building a robust and prosperous ecosystem, and supporting the 

sustainable development of the digital and intelligent society. GCC actively carries out three core businesses: “new architecture consensus,” “new standards development,” and “new ecosystem growth.” Among them, GCC is building a “new standards system” centered on a diversified equal computing architecture. By establishing branch organizations such as Special Interest Groups and Development Groups, GCC is developing multiple series of new technical standards, promoting the implementation of innovative technologies, and contributing to the transformation toward an equal computing architecture.

The current progress of some standards under GCC branch organizations is as follows:

Green Computing Development Group

Released three basic capability standards, including Technical Requirements for Green Computing Server Basic Input Output System (BIOS)

Released four security capability standards, including Technical Requirements for Trusted Green Computing Servers

Released three management capability standards, including Technical Requirements for Green Computing Server Management Northbound Interfaces

Released seven typical scenario performance tests, including Server Application Scenario Performance Test Method — Big Data

Plans to release five standards in 2025, including Technical Requirements for Server Serviceability Evaluation

Confidential Computing Special Interest Group

Plans to develop the standard Technical Requirements and Evaluation Methods for Confidential Computing

Next-Generation BIOS Special Interest Group

Has proposed the UBIOS Basic Architecture Specification standard, covering the functional interface layer architecture, information interaction layer architecture, and other contents

Plans to develop the UBIOS Interface Specification standard, covering ID management, system interfaces, core interfaces, RAS interfaces, and other contents

Plans to develop the Testing and Certification Specification standard, covering UBIOS functions, interfaces, performance testing, and other contents

Open Liquid Cooling Special Interest Group

Plans to develop the open rack standard Technical Requirements for Cold-Plate Liquid-Cooled Rack-Scale Servers

Plans to develop the liquid cooling quick connector standard Technical Requirements and Test Specifications for Liquid Cooling Blind-Mate Quick Connectors

Plans to develop the liquid cooling working fluid standard Technical Requirements and Test Specifications for Cold-Plate Liquid Cooling Fluids

Plans to develop liquid cooling application, operation, and maintenance standards in 2025, including Operation and Maintenance Requirements for Cold-Plate Liquid Cooling Systems and Design Specification for Liquid Leakage Detection in Liquid Cooling Systems
