Context Before
Lastly, the BlueField-4 DPU is able to control the 8 ConnectX-9 backend NICs allowing for unified management of both front end north-south network & back end high speed East-West networks. This system, known as Advanced Secure Trusted Resource Architecture (Astra), thus takes the provisioning and monitoring load off of the host CPU. The only issue with this is that BlueField-4 is expensive, so we expect most hyperscale customers to deploy their in-house DPU solutions instead. We will discuss customization more in the later sections.
Evolution from Blackwell
Evidence
The only difference is the midplane module as it is a new component introduced to eliminate internal cables form the compute tray
Context After
Compute Tray Cableless Design
As mentioned above the VR NVL72 compute tray is designed around the cableless concept. As we discussed in our PCB Supercycle Core Research note in August last year ↗ as well as our recent Core Research note on Amphenol’s AI Content ↗, there are two reasons for this design. First, flyover cables present multiple different points of failure as they can easily be damaged during assembly. Second, the high-density design of VR NVL72 leaves limited space for cables to be routed.
② Atomic Claim
主要例外是 midplane module；它是新加入的元件，目的在移除 compute tray 內部 cables。
