To address these issues with PCIe, NVIDIA introduced a new SXM2 mezzanine connector. NVIDIA’s SXM2 connector allows the GPU to leverage NVIDIA® NVLink™, NVIDIA’s high-bandwidth, energy-efficient ...

They are different, even though it looks like NVLink is the lovechild of PCI-Express and InfiniBand. (And NVLink and NVSwitch predate the acquisition of Mellanox Technologies by Nvidia.) “There are ...

UALink Pods will be managed via dedicated control software and firmware agents using standard interfaces like PCIe and Ethernet ... NVL72 racks that use NVLink to connect up to 72 GPUs in a ...

In comparison, only up to two A100 PCIe cards can be connected with NVLink, which means that any additional GPUs will have to rely on lower bandwidth PCIe connectivity to communicate.

As with Nvidia's larger SXM-based DGX and HGX platforms, this NVLink bridge allows the GPUs to pool compute and memory resources to handle larger tasks without bottlenecking on slower PCIe 5.0 x16 ...

IBM’s POWER9 family of processors support PCIe 4.0 and OpenCAPI 3.0, in addition to NVLink 2.0 (a NVIDIA proprietary interconnect protocol). Is there a path towards convergence or a consolidation on ...

At Supercomputing 2024, the AI computing giant shows off what is likely its biggest AI ‘chip’ yet—the four-GPU Grace Blackwell GB200 NVL4 Superchip—while it announces the general ...
