① SA Source

Context Before

Something interesting about the system is the important role the FPGAs play. Nvidia refers to the FPGAs as “Fabric Expansion Logic” which serves multiple purposes.

Evidence

First, they act as a NIC which converts the LPU’s C2C protocol into Ethernet to connect to the Spectrum-X based ethernet scale-out fabric.

Context After

It is this scale-out fabric through which the LPUs connect to GPUs in the decode system.

② Atomic Claim

首先,這些 FPGA 會充當 NIC,把 LPU 的 C2C protocol 轉成 Ethernet,以連接到以 Spectrum-X 為基礎的 Ethernet scale-out fabric。

⑤ Human Review

請在 Properties 逐項確認:

  • 原文 → Atomic Claim 是否忠實
  • Atomic Claim → Semantic Frame 是否忠實
  • Canonical Entity mapping 是否正確
  • Epistemic mode 是否保留原文語氣
  • 最後選擇 review_action
