NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 is an exascale computer in a single rack. With 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs interconnected by the largest production scale-up compute fabric, NVIDIA NVLink provides 130 terabytes per second (TB/s) of low-latency GPU communication bandwidth for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Multiple GB200 NVL72 systems combined in a cluster create hierarchical network topology with large domains of very high networking bandwidth.  An AI training job can greatly benefit from the abundant networking bandwidth offered by GB200 NVL72, when scheduled to maximize the use of NVLink

NVIDIA agent skills are portable instruction sets that teach AI agents how to use NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, AI Blueprints, and platform tools correctly. NVIDIA-verified skills published in the NVIDIA/skills GitHub repo are: Cataloged and synced daily from the NVIDIA product team that owns it Scanned for software and agent-native risks before publication Signed with a detached skill.oms.sig that can be verified post-download Documented with a skill card describing ownership, dependencies, limitations, and verification status Evaluation is the next layer. It will add standardized quality metri

In multi-GPU workloads, the job segment size defines the subunit made of nodes that can communicate with each other entirely over NVLink. Figure 1 illustrates how segment number (Y) and segment size (S) are used to define the GPUs assigned to a specific job. GPUs per node (G) is always four for GB200 and GB300.  In prior systems, such as NVIDIA HGX H100, jobs were limited to a segment size of one node. The GB200 NVL72 system supports much larger segment sizes (up to 18 nodes) while also efficiently supporting segments as a single node. The optimal segment size for a given application is determ

Based on our simulation results and performance testing, we recommend a scheduling approach for NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 clusters that prioritizes large job performance while maintaining high utilization. Large jobs of 64 GPUs or more should be given access to the maximum number of NVLink domains, using segment sizing to ensure proportional GPU allocation across domains. Segment-based scheduling is essential for aligning resources with workload patterns. For jobs of 32 nodes or more, a segment size of 16 is recommended if the application can benefit from it, while smaller jobs are better suited to s
