Context Before

Evidence

For GB200, the GPU does not have direct access to the ConnectX-7

Context After

Essentially, this means ConnectX-8 has two hosts, Grace CPU and B300 GPU. This improves latency in the backend network. However, for VR NVL72, the direct connection between Rubin GPU and ConnectX-9 is reverted back to the same design as GB200, as Rubin does not have PCIe bandwidth for two Connect-9. Rubin connects to Vera via C2C link, then Vera will connect to ConnectX-9 via PCIe6 lanes.

Secondly, the local NVMe storage for Rubin has been moved to a different location from that of NVMe storage in Grace Blackwell. Previously, local NVMe storage was managed by BlueField-3. For VR NVL72, the local NVMe storage is physically on the Orchid module managed by the ConnectX-9.
