Question 670
During a regional deployment expansion at a media technology business, engineers report the following issue: A GPU health check flags a device but no incident links it to the affected training runs. The affected work supports language and visual-content AI services; different workloads compete for shared acceleration and storage. Choose TWO: one corrective approach and one result demonstrating it works. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
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 GPU health check flags a device but no incident links it to the affected training runs. The corresponding failure being reduced is: Ignoring recurring accelerator errors or replacing parts without evidence can extend outages and overlook software or platform causes.
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 language and visual-content AI services instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.
Incorrect Answers
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 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.
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.
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.
