NVIDIA / Grace Blackwell

GB200 NVL72
Specs, pricing & compute

GB200 NVL72 combines Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs in a liquid-cooled rack-scale system. This is a capacity engagement covering the full system, not a single-GPU rental.

Choose around your workload

01

When to choose this GPU

Consider this platform for distributed training or inference that benefits from a large NVLink domain. Start with the model parallelism strategy, dataset and expected utilisation.

02

When to consider alternatives

Compare GB300 for Blackwell Ultra requirements. A B200 node may be easier to size when the workload does not need a full rack-scale allocation.

03

Memory planning

The NVL72 design includes 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs. Distributed software must still manage memory placement and communication across devices.

04

Interconnect and scale

Specify the NVLink domain, external network, storage throughput, liquid-cooling environment and acceptance tests together. An aggregate bandwidth figure is not per-GPU application bandwidth.

05

Software compatibility

Grace uses Arm CPUs. Verify that containers, native libraries, monitoring agents and data tooling support the host architecture before migration.

FROM CONFIGURATION TO ACCESS

Prepare your compute environment

Operating system & containers

Specify the OS, framework and container image version. Arvica confirms the driver and GPU compatibility before activation. A template name is not a software licence or a guaranteed preinstalled image.

SSH & private access

Save an SSH public key during configuration. Keep the private key on your own device. The verified deployment record provides the actual host and login user once access is ready.

Storage & checkpoints

Separate boot disk, datasets, model weights and checkpoints in your capacity plan. Confirm persistence, backup ownership, attachment rules and deletion behaviour before relying on a volume.

Network & data location

Confirm ingress, egress, public IP access and private networking where required. For regulated or location-sensitive data, specify the required region in advanced settings before submitting.

First connection checklist

Once Arvica supplies verified access, connect using your private key and the exact host/user shown in your instance. Then inspect the allocated GPUs and topology.

ssh -i ~/.ssh/your_key USER@HOST
nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi topo -m

Replace USER and HOST with your own deployment details. These commands inspect an existing machine; they do not provision one.

Size the job before committing

Model memory

Parameter count × bytes per weight estimates weights only. Add KV cache, activations, temporary tensors and framework overhead. Training additionally needs gradients and optimiser state.

Measure useful throughput

Record model version, precision, input/output length, concurrency, latency and error rate together. Compare the cost of a completed job or successful request under the same conditions.

Complete cost

Include all allocated GPUs, runtime, storage, networking, taxes and support. Monthly projections use 730 hours for comparison; your contract defines the billable period and minimum term.

RESERVED / CLUSTERS

Need more capacity?

Define your GPU allocation, interconnect, storage, location and commitment. Arvica prepares a capacity proposal around the workload.

Request capacity

Plan before benchmarking

Model fit and throughput depend on precision, software, batch size, context and system topology. Compare workload estimates rather than an unsupported tokens-per-second promise.

FAQ

How do I choose the GPU count?

Consider this platform for distributed training or inference that benefits from a large NVLink domain. Start with the model parallelism strategy, dataset and expected utilisation.

What should I check about memory?

The NVL72 design includes 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs. Distributed software must still manage memory placement and communication across devices.

What software should I prepare?

Grace uses Arm CPUs. Verify that containers, native libraries, monitoring agents and data tooling support the host architecture before migration.

What interconnect is included?

Specify the NVLink domain, external network, storage throughput, liquid-cooling environment and acceptance tests together. An aggregate bandwidth figure is not per-GPU application bandwidth.

Can I stop billing by shutting down the operating system?

Do not assume so. Resource allocation, storage and reserved commitments may continue billing. Check the contract and request the appropriate lifecycle action through support.

Is my data retained after termination?

Retention depends on the agreed storage configuration. Export data and confirm backup and volume retention before requesting termination.

Can I deploy immediately?

Current configurations enter Arvica capacity review. Running status is shown only after infrastructure is verified.

Is the reference price my final bill?

No. Your quote defines GPU, storage, network, tax and service charges before you commit.

Can I use a larger cluster?

Use the enterprise capacity path for multi-node networking and reserved allocations.
