 NVIDIA's `GB200 NVL72 <https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/gb200-nvl72/>`_ and comparable systems are designed specifically around Multi-Node NVLink (`MNNVL <https://docs.nvidia.com/multi-node-nvlink-systems/mnnvl-user-guide/overview.html>`_) to turn a rack of GPU machines -- each with a small number of GPUs -- into a supercomputer with a large number of GPUs communicating at high bandwidth (1.8 TB/s chip-to-chip, and over `130 TB/s cumulative bandwidth <https://docs.nvidia.com/multi-node-nvlink-systems/multi-node-tuning-guide/overview.html#fifth-generation-nvlink>`_ on a GB200 NVL72).
 
 NVIDIA's DRA Driver for GPUs enables MNNVL for Kubernetes workloads by introducing a new concept -- the **ComputeDomain**:
-when workload requests a ComputeDomain, NVIDIA's DRA Driver for GPUs performs all the heavy lifting required for sharing GPU memory **securely** via NVLink among all pods that comprise the workload.

    Users may appreciate to know that -- under the hood -- NVIDIA Internode Memory Exchange (`IMEX <https://docs.nvidia.com/multi-node-nvlink-systems/mnnvl-user-guide/overview.html#internode-memory-exchange-service>`_) primitives need to be orchestrated for mapping GPU memory over NVLink *securely*: IMEX provides an access control system to lock down GPU memory even between GPUs on the same NVLink partition.
 
-   A design goal of this DRA driver is to make IMEX, as much as possible, an implementation detail that workload authors and cluster operators do not need to be concerned with: the driver launches and/or reconfigures IMEX daemons and establishes and injects IMEX channels into containers as needed.
