① SA Source

Context Before

EP requires all-to-all communication, where every GPU needs to send tokens to every other GPU. This is extremely bandwidth hungry. Recall that Nvidia’s servers have two separate networking domains – the scale-up NVLink domain, and the Scale-out Domain, usually using InfiniBand or Ethernet as the networking protocol.

Evidence

NVLink domain (within the NVL72 rack): 72 GPUs connected via NVLink with 900 GB/s uni-directional bandwidth per GPU

Context After

InfiniBand/RoCEv2 Ethernet (outside of the NVL72 rack): Typically 400-800 Gbit/s per GPU uni-directional (50-100 GB/s). Note that all our testing for Nvidia was conducted on InfiniBand based clusters.

② Atomic Claim

在 NVL72 機櫃內的 NVLink domain 中,72 顆 GPUs 透過 NVLink 互連,每顆 GPU 提供 900 GB/s uni-directional bandwidth。
