Nvidia's NVLink Fusion, intro=

NVLink interconnect tech to non-Nv=
idia-designed accelerators. NVLink
enables multiple GPUs in a system or r=

accelerator with shared compute and memory re=
sources. The technology
will be offered in two configurations: the first =
will be for
connecting custom CPUs to Nvidia GPUs, and the second involve=

NVLink to connect Grace and Vera CPUs to non-Nvidia accelerators.=
This
should theoretically open up the possibility of superchip-style
