VR2R-0258

① SA Source

Context Before

The compute tray topology of VR NVL72 is roughly similar to that of GB200 and GB300. The three main differences to Grace Blackwell are the connections between GPU and ConnectX NICs, the connections to the local NVMe storage, and the connection between the BlueField-4 and ConnectX-9.

Evidence

Firstly, the connection between the GPU and the ConnectX NICs evolved from GB200 to GB300 then to Vera Rubin.

Context After

For GB200, the GPU does not have direct access to the ConnectX-7. Instead, B200 connects to Grace CPU via C2C connection then the Grace CPU talks to the ConnectX-7 over PCIe 5. For GB300, Nvidia introduced NIC direct to ConnectX-8, which allows the B300 GPU to communicate directly with the ConnectX-8 NIC without going through the Grace CPU.

② Atomic Claim

首先,GPU 與 ConnectX NICs 之間的連線,從 GB200 到 GB300,再到 Vera Rubin 持續演進。
