How XPUs Meet a World-Class AI Factory
NVIDIA 1 month ago 45
NVLink Fusion is presented as a way to integrate custom XPUs into NVIDIA’s existing AI factory infrastructure so scale-up networking, rack-scale architecture, and software can keep up with continuous AI factory operation. The article cites sixth-generation NVLink enabling networking across a 72-XPU domain, with XPU-to-XPU transfer latency 3x lower and packet rate 10x higher than off-the-shelf Ethernet-based alternatives. As a result, XPU builders can reuse mature components to reduce time-to-market and operational risk while scaling unified, semi-custom AI factories that mix CPU/XPU and other accelerators on shared rack infrastructure.
