① SA Source

Context Before

Within the compute tray, the scale-up link will function for the most part the same as we estimated back in April. The major difference when it comes to scale-up is once again the name change of the scale up link from IFoE to UALoE, but the scale up bandwidth of MI400s of 1.8TB/s (uni-directional) per GPU achieved using 72 lanes of 200Gbit/s each is the same as we estimated previously.

As a result of this, at least at the marketing level, most of the flexible I/O lanes coming out of the GPU will be on the UALink protocol: UALink to the Vulcano NICs, xGMI4 (a subset of UALink) to the CPU, and the aforementioned UALoE for the scale up network for communicating with GPUs in different compute trays. In the chart we colored all the “UALink” protocol lanes as purple.

Evidence

The MI450X GPU will have direct access to three different levels of memory, which indicates that the rack solution will be optimized for inference workloads as the availability of multiple memory tiers enables more efficient KVCaching.

Context After

In-package HBM (288GB/432GB, 18TB/s)

② Atomic Claim

MI450X GPU 預計可直接存取三層 memory;SemiAnalysis 認為此 multi-tier memory 設計有利 inference 的 KV caching。
