Context Before

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

Evidence

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.

Context After

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

VR NVL72 使用的 NVLink 6 Switch,每顆 switch 的 aggregate bandwidth 與 NVLink 5 Switch 相同,都是 28.8T;但 NVLink 6 Switch 的 SerDes speed 是 NVLink 5 的 2 倍,同時 DP 數量相同。
