Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The GB300 NVL72 is a rack-scale AI computing system that pairs dozens of Grace CPUs with dozens of Blackwell Ultra GPUs, connected by a high-speed interconnect so the GPUs behave as one large addressable compute and memory domain. It uses a mix of direct liquid cooling for its highest-power components and air cooling for lower-power parts to manage the rack's dense power draw.
