Nvidia, Blackwell and Open Compute Project
Nvidia aims to boost Blackwell GPUs by donating platform design to the Open Compute Project
Nvidia has contributed to OCP for more than a decade, including its 2022 submission of the HGX H100 baseboard design, which is now a de facto standard for AI servers, and its 2023 donation of the ConnectX-7 adapter network interface card design, which is now the foundation design of the OCP Network Interface Card 3.0.
Nvidia contributes Blackwell platform design to the Open Compute Project — members can build their own custom designs for Blackwell GPUs
Nvidia has contributed its GB200 NVL72 rack and compute/switch tray designs to the Open Compute Project (OCP), enabling OCP members to build their designs based on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs. The company is sharing key design elements of its high-performance server platform to accelerate the development of open data center platforms that can support Nvidia's power-hungry next-generation GPUs with Nvidia networking.
NVIDIA Contributes Blackwell Platform Design to Open Hardware Ecosystem, Accelerating AI Infrastructure Innovation
NVIDIA has already made several official contributions to OCP across multiple hardware generations, including its NVIDIA HGX™ H100 baseboard design specification, to help provide the ecosystem with a wider choice of offerings from the world’s computer makers and expand the adoption of AI.
Nvidia contributes Blackwell rack design to Open Compute Project
In addition to the rack architecture contributions, Nvidia is broadening its Spectrum-X networking support for OCP standards.
