d-Matrix Adopts NVIDIA NVLink Fusion for Rack-Scale XPU Deployment
AI chipmaker d-Matrix is adopting NVIDIA NVLink Fusion to connect its Raptor XPUs to NVIDIA's AI infrastructure platform. This integration allows d-Matrix to deploy its custom silicon using NVIDIA's existing rack architecture and networking.
Why it matters
This reduces the cost and risk for chipmakers to deploy custom hardware at scale by removing the need to build rack-scale infrastructure from scratch. It enables data centers to support multiple processor types within a single, standardized rack architecture.
The big picture
This partnership extends the use of NVIDIA's BlueField-4 DPUs and Vera Rubin NVL72 systems, which were previously identified as NVIDIA-owned or developed technologies, by integrating them with third-party custom silicon.
The details
- NVLink Fusion offers 3x lower XPU-to-XPU latency and 10x higher packet rates than off-the-shelf Ethernet. - d-Matrix will integrate NVIDIA Vera CPUs, ConnectX-9 SuperNICs, and Spectrum-X Ethernet networking. - The approach creates "semi-custom AI factories" that pair NVIDIA's infrastructure with partner-specific silicon. - The system utilizes NVIDIA MGX rack architecture to support liquid cooling.
What's next
d-Matrix plans to connect its XPUs in a single high-bandwidth, low-latency scale-up domain.
