NeuronLink PCIe PHY and UALink Switches

Evidence

There are three scale up switch generations implemented during the lifecycle of Trainium3, first the 160-lane Scorpio X PCIe 6.0, then the 320-lane Scorpio-X PCIe 6.0, and finally there will be an option to upgrade to a higher radix 72+ port UALink switch.

Context After

The first two switch tray generations adopt a multi-plane scale up switch architecture that does not technically allow full all-to-all communication within the rack without multiple hops. The Gen1 switches will be rather quickly replaced higher bandwidth and higher radix switches. The table below illustrates the scale-up characteristics of the six different combinations across the two rack SKUs and three different switch tray generations.
