Summary
NVIDIA Data Center CPUs documentation covers NVIDIA CPU platforms purpose-built for modern AI and HPC data centers. The docs center on the NVIDIA Grace CPU and its role in CPU-only systems, Grace Hopper systems, and tightly coupled Grace-Blackwell/Hopper platforms.
Detail
The Grace CPU uses 72 Arm v9 cores, LPDDR5X memory, and NVIDIA Scalable Coherency Fabric to deliver high bandwidth, deterministic latency, and energy efficiency. It powers memory-coherent systems with NVIDIA Blackwell and Hopper GPUs through NVLink-C2C as well as efficient CPU-only platforms.
This page is a hardware family hub, while NVIDIA-Grace-CPU remains the deeper page for the Grace CPU itself. NVIDIA-Vera-CPU now tracks NVIDIA’s next-generation custom Arm CPU direction inside the NVIDIA-Vera-Rubin platform.
