That's right, this HW is all designed to use the high memory bandwidth
of the parallel GPUs. The CPU must not be involved in the data
movement.

If you look at the reference block diagrams for a DGX-H100 you can see
that the each GPU is directly wired to a 400Gb/s NIC, and there is
even software that allows the GPU to directly operate its attached
NIC interface.

Each of the 8 GPUs in the block diagram has 800 Gb/s full duplex RDMA,
and 7200 Gb/sec full duplex on the nvlink interconnect directly
connected to it.

The GPU is the center of all the interconnect in these systems.
