InfiniBand is the dominant method of connecting AI processing systems. Is there some kind of significant performance benefit? Or is it more of a legacy choice? There are other options on the horizon but you need to understand the differences and how they need to be built to take advantage of needed performance.

The standard architecture of high performance computing (HPC) cluster environments has remained largely static since the mid-1990s. Before this, supercomputers were built usually as one-off, highly specific architectures that were uniquely designed for that one machine-an approach which couldn't be massively scaled.

There's more to the rise in HPC and AI of domain-specific architectures (DSAs), starting with GPUs, than just the superior throughput they can deliver. Yes, the deceleration of Moore's Law and Dennard scaling are the primary reasons for the CPU's decline in dominance. But other factors are playing a strong, enabling role for DSAs.
