I would like to see in such simulators:

- multi GPU configuration (hetero and homo)

- PCIe gen chooser (3.0/4.0/5.0)

- is nvlink enabled (2 cards, 2 x 2 cards, 3 x 2 cards)

- is PCIe bifurcated or CPU native (threadripper pro for example)

My take as well. The dual-3090 and dual-spark configs have an outsized voice in this conversation. I'd add pipeline parallelism vs tensor parallelism and in the case of TP setting your lanes and speeds per card.

Nvlink just is not available above 3090 and below B200 (datacenter stuff). E.g. https://www.gpuyard.com/tutorials/howto/setup-nvlink-blackwe...
