① SA Source

Context Before

Source: SemiAnalysis Networking Model

Within each tray or node, all 16 LPUs are connected to each other in an all-to-all mesh. Each LPU module connects to the 15 other LPUs within the node with 4x100G of C2C bandwidth. Note that this ‘C2C’ is not related to NVLink, but Groq’s own scaleup fabric. These connections are all via PCB trace, which necessitates an extremely high spec PCB to support this routing density. This is why the belly-to-belly layout is used: it reduces the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ distance between all the LPUs and instead have routing go in the ‘Z’ dimension.

Evidence

The 2 FPGAs each have 8x PCIe Gen 5 going to the CPUs

Context After

Inter-node/Intra-rack
