Why it matters
Identical hardware does not mean identical throughput — the gap is large enough to matter when comparing providers.
Two AI computing clusters built from identical NVIDIA H100, GB200 NVL72, or GB300 NVL72 systems can deliver materially different training throughput.
We...
We routinely see 8% to 12% gaps between partner deployments and the corresponding NVIDIA reference architecture (RA) on the same workload, same model, same global batch size.
The cause is often

Two AI computing clusters built from identical NVIDIA H100, GB200 NVL72, or GB300 NVL72 systems can deliver materially different training throughput. We routinely see 8% to 12% gaps between partner deployments and the corresponding NVIDIA reference architecture (RA) on the same workload, same model, same global batch size. The cause is often a stack of configuration choices in the kernel… Source
