Connects 36 Grace CPUs and 72 Blackwell GPUs in a rack-scale design, liquid-cooled, rack-scale solution that boasts a 72-GPU NVLink domain that acts as a massive GPU and delivers 30 times faster real-time trillion-parameter LLM inference.

2 Configurations (each Compute Tray Contains 4 GPUs):

The 36x2 Configuration

Here is the NVIDIA reference configuration for the 36x2 configuration:

  • MGX Rack

  • NVL36x2 GPU Racks

    • 9x 2RU Compute trays.
    • 9x 1RU NVL36 NVLink Switch trays.
    • Cable cartridges and manifolds in the RU pitch.

Hybrid cooling trays:

  • Grace CPU, Blackwell GPU, CX7, and NVLink Switch ASICs + OSFPs are liquid cooled.
  • The rest of the components are air cooled.

The 72x1 Configuration

GB200 72x1 contains one rack with 72 GPUs.

  • Reference configuration:

    • 18x 1RU Compute trays (4 GPUs per compute tray).
    • 9x 1RU NVL72 NVLink Switch trays.
  • Hybrid cooling trays:

    • Grace CPU, Blackwell GPU, CX7, and NVLink Switches ASICs are liquid cooled.
    • Rest of the components are air cooled.
