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 LPU also has 1x100G going to one FPGA, with each FPGA interfacing with 8 LPUs

Context After

Inter-node/Intra-rack

② Atomic Claim

每顆 LPU 另有 1×100G 連到一顆 FPGA,而每顆 FPGA 會對接 8 顆 LPU
