When distributed workloads stall because nodes cannot exchange small messages quickly and consistently, the network is the limiting factor. How do you solve that problem? InfiniBand offers one solution. InfiniBand is an interconnect, meaning the end-to-end communication system that links compute, storage, and accelerator nodes. It is implemented as a purpose-built network fabric, the switching and transport layer engineered to deliver high bandwidth and low, predictable latency between those nodes.

"Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out. Compute demand keeps accelerating and compounding across training and inference, each growing exponentially. We've entered the virtuous cycle of AI." Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA When NVIDIA's CEO makes that statement in a quarterly earnings release, it is not marketing language.
