Question 340
During a high-traffic model-service launch at an online commerce company, engineers report the following issue: An existing data hall has capacity for low-density CPU racks but not a new accelerator row. The affected work supports product search, recommendations and fraud screening; peak request demand makes degraded predictions visible to customers. Choose TWO: one corrective approach and one result demonstrating it works. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
Correct corrective action. Match cooling capacity, airflow direction and rack placement to the heat output of concentrated GPU systems, using measured inlet temperatures and facility constraints. This fits the specific reported issue: An existing data hall has capacity for low-density CPU racks but not a new accelerator row. The corresponding failure being reduced is: Hotspots, inadequate airflow or insufficient liquid-cooling capacity can cause thermal throttling and hardware availability issues.
Correct independent evidence. Sustained stress testing shows inlet temperatures and accelerator thermals remain within the approved equipment operating envelope. This verifies the corrective approach for the affected product search, recommendations and fraud screening instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.
Incorrect Answers
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Calculate steady and peak rack power demand for GPU servers, network devices and support equipment, with appropriate electrical headroom and redundant feed design. This choice concerns ai rack power budgeting and delivery and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'An existing data hall has capacity for low-density CPU racks but not a new accelerator row', which calls for reasoning about cooling design for dense accelerated racks. The targeted response is: Match cooling capacity, airflow direction and rack placement to the heat output of concentrated GPU systems, using measured inlet temperatures and facility constraints.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. A congested multi-flow test checks RDMA throughput and loss or congestion telemetry against the required service target. This choice concerns roce congestion and loss-management considerations and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'An existing data hall has capacity for low-density CPU racks but not a new accelerator row', which calls for reasoning about cooling design for dense accelerated racks. The targeted response is: Match cooling capacity, airflow direction and rack placement to the heat output of concentrated GPU systems, using measured inlet temperatures and facility constraints.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Use supported DPU infrastructure functions to separate privileged platform networking or security services from untrusted host workload control when appropriate. This choice concerns dpu isolation and secure infrastructure services and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'An existing data hall has capacity for low-density CPU racks but not a new accelerator row', which calls for reasoning about cooling design for dense accelerated racks. The targeted response is: Match cooling capacity, airflow direction and rack placement to the heat output of concentrated GPU systems, using measured inlet temperatures and facility constraints.
