ClusterKit’s NCCL bandwidth test shows 350 GB/s on a 400G InfiniBand fabric.

The result should be interpreted as optimal in the context of the provided ClusterKit NCCL bandwidth test. ClusterKit is designed for high-performance cluster validation and includes GPU communication tests such as GPU-GPU latency, GPU-GPU bandwidth, GPU-host latency, and NCCL bandwidth and latency. A reported 350 GB/s value in this type of question normally represents aggregate NCCL communication bandwidth across GPUs, not the raw line rate of a single 400G network port. If ClusterKit reports this result as part of a healthy NCCL bandwidth run, it indicates that the GPU communication path, RDMA stack, and fabric are performing as expected. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly references HDR and assumes a single-link expectation above 390 GB/s. Option B incorrectly jumps to FEC tuning without evidence of link errors, retransmissions, or degraded counters. Option D is also incorrect because CPU stress testing does not validate NCCL GPU-to-GPU fabric bandwidth. In production validation, this result should still be considered alongside consistency, error counters, NCCL logs, topology, and reference values for the exact DGX, GPU, HCA, and switch configuration.
