Context Before

Each NVLink Switch Chip connects via flyover cables to the connector (144 DPs used x 200 Gbit/s bi-di channel = 28.8Tbit/s) connectors at the edge of the switch blade, and these connectors plug into the midplane board. Nvidia is looking into using co-packaged Copper to reduce loss further, in case NPC doesn’t work. As far as we know the Nvidia is telling supply chain to go for fully co-packaged copper.

Rubin Ultra NVL288

Evidence

This would entail two NVL144 Kyber racks placed adjacent to each other

Context After

If Rubin Ultra NVL288 is deployed, each Rubin Ultra GPU will have a scale-up bandwidth of 14.4Tbit/s uni-di, requiring 144 DPs of cables to connect the NVLink 7 switches. 72 DPs per GPU times 288 GPUs means a total of 20,736 additional DPs required to connect this larger world size domain. This entails a lot of cables, so it is an upper bound of how much cable content could be used.

The radix of the 28.8T NVLink Switch limits the number of GPUs that each switch can connect while still providing for cross-rack connectivity. Either a higher radix switch will have to be used - or there will have to be a degree of oversubscription in this architecture while potentially adopting a dragonfly-like network topology. This would also require fewer DPs worth of copper cables.
