Question 600

During a regional deployment expansion at a media technology business, engineers report the following issue: A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU. The affected work supports language and visual-content AI services; different workloads compete for shared acceleration and storage. Select TWO: the most appropriate action and the strongest verification of that action. (Select TWO.)

  1. Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters.
  2. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.
  3. A deliberately observed GPU condition appears in DCGM telemetry with node and device identity and leads to an actionable diagnostic record.
  4. Use a secured baseboard management controller and out-of-band path to inspect system sensors, power and remote console status independently of the host operating system.
  5. A test pod requests a supported accelerator resource, schedules to an eligible node and performs a successful device computation.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct corrective action. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices. This fits the specific reported issue: A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU. The corresponding failure being reduced is: Pods cannot reliably obtain GPUs if device resources are not exposed or requested correctly, even when nodes physically contain accelerators.

E:

Correct independent evidence. A test pod requests a supported accelerator resource, schedules to an eligible node and performs a successful device computation. This verifies the corrective approach for the affected language and visual-content AI services instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters. This choice concerns slurm batch queues fair-share and reservations and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU', which calls for reasoning about Kubernetes gpu device scheduling and discovery. The targeted response is: Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

C:

Question 601

During a shared-cluster operating review at a university HPC center, engineers report the following issue: A smoke-test pod starts but fails when executing a CUDA operation on its assigned device. The affected work supports research training and scheduled compute allocations; fair resource access and repeatable cluster operations matter. Which action most directly addresses the described requirement?

  1. Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation.
  2. Place tightly coupled distributed training processes with awareness of accelerator counts, network topology and collective communication demands, and validate gang-scheduling needs.
  3. Choose supported Multi-Instance GPU profiles for multiple smaller workloads requiring hardware-partitioned compute and memory isolation, after verifying GPU and software support.
  4. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

Question 602

During a shared-cluster operating review at a university HPC center, engineers report the following issue: A smoke-test pod starts but fails when executing a CUDA operation on its assigned device. The affected work supports research training and scheduled compute allocations; fair resource access and repeatable cluster operations matter. Which acceptance result is most relevant to this workload?

  1. A test pod requests a supported accelerator resource, schedules to an eligible node and performs a successful device computation.
  2. A sampled node's actual firmware, GPU, driver and fabric settings match the approved inventory or show a tracked exception.
  3. Several representative users submit jobs and the scheduler allocates only authorized GPU resources under the published priority and quota policy.
  4. A deliberately observed GPU condition appears in DCGM telemetry with node and device identity and leads to an actionable diagnostic record.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

But this case reports 'Administrators want preapproved training windows for time-sensitive experiments', which calls for reasoning about slurm batch queues fair-share and reservations. The targeted response is: Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters.

C:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Interpret GPU compute utilization, device-memory occupancy, power draw and temperature together over time instead of using one metric as proof of efficient execution. This choice concerns gpu utilization memory and power telemetry interpretation and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'Administrators want preapproved training windows for time-sensitive experiments', which calls for reasoning about slurm batch queues fair-share and reservations. The targeted response is: Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters.

D:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. An authorized VM sees the expected supported accelerator profile and passes workload and isolation tests under simultaneous tenant demand. This choice concerns virtual gpus and gpu sharing approaches and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'Administrators want preapproved training windows for time-sensitive experiments', which calls for reasoning about slurm batch queues fair-share and reservations. The targeted response is: Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters.
