Context Before

Source: Nvidia VR NVL72 BoM and Power Budget Model ↗
Evidence
Firstly, the connection between the GPU and the ConnectX NICs evolved from GB200 to GB300 then to Vera Rubin
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.
② Atomic Claim
首先,GPU 與 ConnectX NICs 之間的連接方式,從 GB200 到 GB300 再到 Vera Rubin 持續演進。
