NVLINK bridge use in datacenter?

[Y0s]

Hi,

Just curious if anyone has experience of actually using one of those NVLINK bridges across GPUs in a datacenter? Most rackmount chassis don't position the GPUs where they can be used, seems intended for tower cases?

There are a few cases that will do this. As an example, the R750xa we have can use bridges across two A100's.

Thanks, interesting comparison with today's Tyan pedestal server review!

I really like the HGX SXM4 A100 setups instead of PCIE AIC with a bridge.

If your purchasing a whole server with everything I don't think there is much cost difference.
