Next-generation networking for high-performance, scalable, and secure gigascale AI factories.
Introduction
AI factories now span tens of thousands of GPUs—and soon, millions—operating as a single distributed computing engine. To keep accelerators fully utilized, AI workloads demand deterministic latency, lossless throughput, stable iteration times, and the ability to scale not only within a data center, but across multiple sites.
NVIDIA networking delivers the full-stack fabric that makes this possible, combiningNVIDIA NVLink™ scale-up,NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand andSpectrum-X™ Ethernet scale-out, Spectrum-XGS multi-data-center scale-across,NVIDIA® BlueField® DPU andDOCA™ for infrastructure services, and next-generationsilicon-photonics platforms to power the world’s most advanced AI factories.
The new NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics switch systems improve power efficiency and uptime by 5x.
