Question 660

During a multi-team AI platform review at an applied research institute, engineers report the following issue: A training job fails sporadically and system logs include GPU Xid events. The affected work supports training and inference experiments; jobs must produce reproducible, defensible technical results. Select TWO: the most appropriate action and the strongest verification of that action. (Select TWO.)

  1. Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.
  2. Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation.
  3. A reproducible fault is linked to device identifiers, event history and a documented diagnostic action with a verified recovery result.
  4. An authorized VM sees the expected supported accelerator profile and passes workload and isolation tests under simultaneous tenant demand.
  5. Interpret GPU compute utilization, device-memory occupancy, power draw and temperature together over time instead of using one metric as proof of efficient execution.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct corrective action. Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement. This fits the specific reported issue: A training job fails sporadically and system logs include GPU Xid events. The corresponding failure being reduced is: Ignoring recurring accelerator errors or replacing parts without evidence can extend outages and overlook software or platform causes.

C:

Correct independent evidence. A reproducible fault is linked to device identifiers, event history and a documented diagnostic action with a verified recovery result. This verifies the corrective approach for the affected training and inference experiments instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation. This choice concerns cluster inventory firmware and configuration baseline and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A training job fails sporadically and system logs include GPU Xid events', which calls for reasoning about gpu reliability events and diagnostic triage. The targeted response is: Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.

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 'A training job fails sporadically and system logs include GPU Xid events', which calls for reasoning about gpu reliability events and diagnostic triage. The targeted response is: Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.

E:

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 'A training job fails sporadically and system logs include GPU Xid events', which calls for reasoning about gpu reliability events and diagnostic triage. The targeted response is: Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.

Question 661

During a high-traffic model-service launch at an online commerce company, engineers report the following issue: An accelerator reports recurring corrected memory errors that operators never trend. The affected work supports product search, recommendations and fraud screening; peak request demand makes degraded predictions visible to customers. Which action most directly addresses the described requirement?

  1. Use nvidia-smi or supported NVIDIA management interfaces to inspect GPU identification, utilization, memory, temperatures and running processes as an initial node-level diagnostic.
  2. Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters.
  3. Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.
  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.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Question 662

During a high-traffic model-service launch at an online commerce company, engineers report the following issue: An accelerator reports recurring corrected memory errors that operators never trend. The affected work supports product search, recommendations and fraud screening; peak request demand makes degraded predictions visible to customers. 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 reproducible fault is linked to device identifiers, event history and a documented diagnostic action with a verified recovery result.
  3. A time-series review connects kernel activity and memory use to actual completed training or inference work while checking limit events.

The targeted response is: Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.

D:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. 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. This choice concerns bmc and out-of-band server health administration and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A GPU health check flags a device but no incident links it to the affected training runs', which calls for reasoning about gpu reliability events and diagnostic triage. The targeted response is: Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.

E:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Several representative users submit jobs and the scheduler allocates only authorized GPU resources under the published priority and quota policy. This choice concerns slurm batch queues fair-share and reservations and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A GPU health check flags a device but no incident links it to the affected training runs', which calls for reasoning about gpu reliability events and diagnostic triage. The targeted response is: Correlate supported GPU error counters and Xid or ECC events with driver logs, diagnostics and affected workloads before deciding on remediation or hardware replacement.
