VR2R-0579

① SA Source

Context Before

Broadly, there are three flavors of scale-out deployments for Vera Rubin NVL72. We have InfiniBand-based clusters which employ the NVIDIA Quantum series of switches, NVIDIA Ethernet-based clusters employing Spectrum series switches and

Evidence

lastly, non-Nvidia Ethernet such as Tomahawk-based, Cisco Silicon One or Teralynx-based Ethernet switches.

Context After

Some Ethernet-based clusters deployed by hyperscalers will use AECs for NIC-to-TOR and switch-to-switch connections, while other Ethernet-based clusters using only optical interconnects will usually adopt a multi-plane and multi-rail networking architecture. What is particularly noteworthy about Vera Rubin NVL72 deployments, however, is that it is the first Nvidia GPU generation where we will be seeing some Co-Packaged-Optics (CPO) deployments in the scale-out backend network.
