Context Before

While not much is known about Feynman, the Keynote sneak peek was enough to tell us Feynman will be exciting, with three major technical innovations all being pushed in a single platform: Hybrid bonding/SoIC , A16, CPO , and custom HBM .

While Feynman adopting CPO is on the roadmap, the question is to what extent? Will in-rack interconnectivity be copper based or optical? We will show possible configurations behind the Paywall. Vera ETL256

Evidence

As GPUs scale faster than CPUs, larger CPU clusters are needed to keep them fully utilized, making CPUs a growing bottleneck

Context After

The Vera standalone rack addresses this directly, achieving unprecedented density by fitting 256 CPUs into a single rack — a feat that necessitates liquid cooling. The underlying rationale mirrors the NVL rack design philosophy: pack compute tightly enough that copper interconnects can reach everything within the rack, eliminating the need for optical transceivers on the spine. The cost savings from copper more than offset the additional cooling overhead.

② Atomic Claim

由於 GPUs 擴展速度快於 CPUs,為維持 GPU 的高利用率,需要更大的 CPU clusters,因此 CPUs 正逐漸成為瓶頸。
