Future Proofing Inference Servers With PCI-Express Switches
At this point in the history of datacenter systems, there can be no higher praise than to be chosen by Nvidia as a component supplier for its AI systems. …

With a three year cadence between PCI-Express bandwidth increases and a three year span between when a gear shift is first talked about and when its chippery is first put into the field, it is extremely difficult to not be impatient for the next PCI-Express release to get into the field. …
Things would go a whole lot better for server designs if we had a two year or better still a four year moratorium on adding faster compute engines to machines. …
If the datacenter had been taken over by InfiniBand, as was originally intended back in the late 1990s, then PCI-Express peripheral buses and certainly PCI-Express switching – and maybe even Ethernet switching itself – would not have been necessary at all. …
