Context Before

CPU demand is rising as AI workloads require more data handling, preprocessing, and orchestration beyond GPU compute. Reinforcement learning further increases demand, with CPUs running simulations, executing code, and verifying outputs in parallel.

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 GPU 的擴張速度快於 CPU，需要更大的 CPU cluster 才能維持 GPU 充分利用，使 CPU 成為日益明顯的 bottleneck。
