Context Before

Connecting GPUs in the Scale-Out InfiniBand Network

Broadly, there are three flavors of scale-out deployments for Vera Rubin NVL72. We have InfiniBand-based clusters which employ the NVIDIA Quantum series of switches, NVIDIA Ethernet-based clusters employing Spectrum series switches and lastly, non-Nvidia Ethernet such as Tomahawk-based, Cisco Silicon One or Teralynx-based Ethernet switches. Some Ethernet-based clusters deployed by hyperscalers will use AECs for NIC-to-TOR and switch-to-switch connections, while other Ethernet-based clusters using only optical interconnects will usually adopt a multi-plane and multi-rail networking architecture. What is particularly noteworthy about Vera Rubin NVL72 deployments, however, is that it is the first Nvidia GPU generation where we will be seeing some Co-Packaged-Optics (CPO) deployments in the scale-out backend network.

Evidence

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.

Context After

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.
