NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 introduces a fundamentally new way to build GPU clusters by extending NVIDIA NVLink coherence across an entire rack. This design enables exascale performance, but it also changes the assumptions that many scheduling systems were built on. As a result, “rack-scale locality” becomes a hard constraint. When workloads cross domain boundaries, performance drops sharply…

Distributed deep learning depends on fast, reliable GPU-to-GPU communication using the NVIDIA Collective Communication Library (NCCL). When training slows down, it becomes challenging to determine why and what to do next. A problem can span computation, communication, a specific rank, or underlying hardware. NVIDIA NCCL Inspector accelerates triaging by providing a lightweight and continuous…
