Abstract

There are numerous enterprise environments that have standardized on NVIDIA components for their AI Factories. To support the needs of those customers, Dell provides an AI Factory solution that integrates Dell PowerSwitch NVIDIA Spectrum with Dell SONiC.

Dell Technologies commissioned Tolly to evaluate the Dell AI Factory solution with NVIDIA Spectrum with Dell SONiC. The solution includes Dell PowerSwitch SN5610 NVIDIA Spectrum with Dell SONiC for AI Fabric, and Dell PowerSwitch SN2201 NVIDIA Spectrum with Dell SONiC switches with Dell SONiC for management, in addition to NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA BlueField 3 SuperNICs and DPUs in the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers.

The Dell AI fabric demonstrated near theoretical maximum results in both microbenchmarks and NCCL tests in a 400GbE AI fabric.
