NVLink 6
NVIDIA's sixth-generation high-speed GPU interconnect technology, introduced alongside the Blackwell architecture. It increases bandwidth and scalability beyond NVLink 4 and incorporates multi-layer fault-tolerance mechanisms to maintain availability in large-scale AI training clusters.
Timeline (last 90 days)
NVIDIA introduced a Multi-Layer Resiliency mechanism for NVLink 6.
NVLink 6 corresponds to the Blackwell architecture, with further improvements in bandwidth and scalability over the previous generation.
Being able to recover from failures directly at the link or node layer without triggering a checkpoint rollback can improve effective compute utilization (MFU, Model FLOPs Utilization).
NVLink 6's multi-layer resiliency adopts a layered design that builds redundancy and fault isolation at different levels, including link-level redundancy, fault isolation and fast recovery, and system-level monitoring.
