CoreWeave、NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72クラスターとAIストレージの強化版を発表
CoreWeaveは、数百基のGPUを単一システムとしてトレーニングと推論を実行できるように設計されたマルチラック構成のNVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72クラスターを発表した。同社はまた、AIオブジェクトストレージにリージョン間書き込みアクセラレーションを追加して強化し、エージェント型AIワークロード向けの高スループットデータパイプラインを支えるようにしたほか、より低温のAIデータセットを対象とした新しいアーカイブストレージ層を追加し、モデルデータの長期保存をより低コストのストレージ選択肢と整合させた。CoreWeaveは高性能コンピューティングに特化した米国拠点のクラウドインフラプロバイダーとして事業を展開しており、多くのAI開発者が依存するGPU集約型データセンターの構築に直接関与している。同社によると、Rubinクラスターとストレージの強化は、計算資源を大量に消費するエージェント型システムの基盤的な配管としての役割を支えるもので、GPU密度をデータの局所性とより高いスループットに直接結び付けている。CoreWeaveは、最近の転換社債や株式発行を含む多様な資金調達手段を活用し、事業モデルを再構築するのではなく、より多くのキャパシティを実際に稼働させることを進めてきた。
