VR2R-0573

① SA Source

Context Before

The HGX Rubin NVL8 server consists of eight 800G CX-9 NIC packages—one NIC per GPU—which means that the scale-out bandwidth does not increase from its predecessor, the HGX B300 server. The Vera Rubin NVL72 deployment on the other hand doubles the per GPU scale-out bandwidth to 1.6T, but not by doubling the bandwidth per NIC.

Evidence

Rather, the “1.6T NIC” attached to each Rubin chip is comprised of two 800G CX-9 packages that is connected to the Vera CPU by PCIe Gen 6.0 lanes.

Context After

Each compute tray on the VR NVL72 has eight 800G CX-9 NICs, but there are two possibilities for the number of OSFP cages—either one 1.6T OSFP cage per GPU for a total of 4 per compute tray, or two 800G OSFP cages per GPU for a total of 8 cages per compute tray. We think that the latter would be the more popular deployment assumption.

② Atomic Claim

每顆 Rubin chip 所連接的「1.6T NIC」其實由 2 個 800G CX-9 packages 組成,並透過 PCIe Gen 6.0 lanes 連接到 Vera CPU。
