Key Hyperscalers And Chip Makers Gang Up On Nvidia’s NVSwitch Interconnect
The generative AI revolution is making strange bedfellows, as revolutions and emerging monopolies that capitalize on them, often do. …

Since the advent of distributed computing, there has been a tension between the tight coherency of memory and its compute within a node – the base level of a unit of compute – and the looser coherency over the network across those nodes. …
Normally, when we look at a system, we think from the compute engines at a very fine detail and then work our way out across the intricacies of the nodes and then the interconnect and software stack that scales it across the nodes into a distributed computing platform. …
At the GPU Technology Conference last week, we told you all about the new NVSwitch memory fabric interconnect that Nvidia has created to link multiple “Volta” GPUs together and that is at the heart of the DGX-2 system that the company has created to demonstrate its capabilities and to use on its internal Saturn V supercomputer at some point in the future. …
Maybe they should have called it DeepFake, or DeepState, or better still Deep Selloff. …
Brad McCredie like engines, and more importantly, he likes to make them go fast. …
If you want to be at the top of the food chain on Earth, as human beings have ascended to after millions of years of evolution, there are a bunch of things that you need to be able to do. …
If you want to sell a lot of hardware to support AI workloads, then the best way to do that is to convince every country on Earth that AI is so important that they must have a lot of it within their borders. …
It was only a few months ago when waferscale compute pioneer Cerebras Systems was bragging that a handful of its WSE-3 engines lashed together could run circles around Nvidia GPU instances based on Nvidia’s “Hopper” H100 GPUs when running the open source Llama 3.1 foundation model created by Meta Platforms. …
