Modular reference platform letting server makers build NVLink-connected GPU systems for hyperscale AI and HPC.
HGX is NVIDIA's hyperscale reference architecture that pairs Hopper or Blackwell GPUs over NVLink and NVSwitch with high-speed networking so original equipment manufacturers can ship validated AI and high-performance computing servers in eight-way and rack-scale configurations.
HGX platforms anchor most third-party AI training and inference systems sold by hyperscale providers, system integrators, and cloud builders. NVIDIA pairs HGX with Quantum InfiniBand and Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, BlueField data processing units, and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack for production deployments.
