   SkyPilot: topology-aware scheduling for Grace Blackwell NVL72 racks

   SkyPilot says running the same distributed training job over InfiniBand instead of NVLink can degrade performance by 43%, and that topology-aware scheduling can yield 27% more usable GPUs from the same Grace Blackwell racks. The post describes NVIDIA's NVL72 systems, which connect all 72 GPUs in a rack over a unified NVLink fabric (18 NVLink ports per GPU at 100 GB/s each, 130 TB/s aggregate internally), and how the SkyPilot Platform keeps multi-node jobs rack-local through Topology-Aware Scheduling, in-place recovery from hardware failures in Frontier Trainer, and Automatic Defragmentation of shared clusters. It also cites Meta's measured mean time between interruptions of roughly 490 days per 4-GPU node, implying about 27 days for an 18-node rack, and recommends leaving spare nodes in each rack.
