Trainium3 NL72x2 Switched on Gen1 Switch Trays - Line hint:
417
Context Before
Yet another potential parallelism strategy is to use full EP across both racks but plan around the extra hops. This strategy could work well for very sparse models where the model would be unable to implement TP across racks because the d_model dim is too small. So – even the additional latency of the extra hop passing through an immediately connected Trainium3 would be worth it.
Trainium3 NL72x2 Switched on Gen1 Switch Trays
Evidence
There are four planes of 10 160-lane PCIe switches each, 40 total switches on switch trays per rack, and 8 32 Lane PCIe switches on each of the 18 Compute Trays, which amounts to a total of 144 of the smaller PCIe switches on the Compute Trays per rack. This is a grand total of 184 scale-up switches per rack or 368 scale-up switches across the entire scale-up world of 144 Trainium3s.
