Connecting GPUs in the Scale-Out InfiniBand Network
Evidence
Some Ethernet-based clusters deployed by hyperscalers will use AECs for NIC-to-TOR and switch-to-switch connections
Context After
While there are both InfiniBand and Spectrum-X based clusters, the InfiniBand-based Quantum X800-34XX series of switches is more popular with Neoclouds than with hyperscalers. For InfiniBand, there are two deployment types – the first is the Quantum X800-Q3400 with pluggable optics and the second is the Quantum X800-Q3450 CPO-based switch that use co-packaged Optical Engines (OE) instead of pluggable transceivers.
The Quantum X800-Q3400 is logically a multi-plane switch combining 4 Quantum-3 ASICs into a single switch box, though we will dive into this equivalence later in the article. This multi-plane “topology” is abstracted away and as far as network engineers are concerned, the Q3400 is a single switch with 144 ports – or a “little boy” switch.
② Atomic Claim
部分由 hyperscalers 部署的 Ethernet-based clusters，會使用 AECs 做 NIC-to-TOR 與 switch-to-switch connections。
