NVLink, NVSwitch, and all that

NVIDIA's NVLink and NVSwitch technologies form a scale-up fabric that connects GPUs tightly enough to behave as a single machine, contrasting with scale-out fabrics like InfiniBand and RoCE that link …

Bringing Up DeepSeek-V4-Flash on AMD MI300X

AMD's MI300X accelerator, with 192GB of HBM3 memory and roughly half the list price of NVIDIA's H100, remains underutilized due to software incompatibilities. As of early May 2026, running vLLM with D…
