① SA Source

Context Before

The bidirectional SerDes technology employed on the copper backplane is used for NVIDIA’s scale-up network. For Vera Rubin NVL72, the scale-up network continues to be rail-optimized with all-to-all connectivity between each GPU and switch ASIC in the scale-up domain.

Evidence

NVIDIA’s GB200 scale-up architecture consists of 18 NVLink 5 Switch chips in a single rack for the NVL72 system.

Context After

Although the NVLink 6 Switch used in the VR NVL72 system delivers the same per switch 28.8T aggregate bandwidth as NVLink 5 Switch, the SerDes speed on the NVLink 6 Switch is double the SerDes speed of NVLink 5 Switch but with the same number of DPs. As such, in order to deliver double the aggregate scale-up bandwidth required for NVLink 6, Vera Rubin NVL72 racks will contain double the number of NVLink Switches as compared to GB200 racks.

② Atomic Claim

NVIDIA 的 GB200 scale-up architecture,在單一 NVL72 rack 中包含 18 顆 NVLink 5 Switch chips。
