NVIDIA Exam NCA-AIIO Topic 2 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for NVIDIA's NCA-AIIO exam
Question #: 3
Topic #: 2
[All NCA-AIIO Questions]

You are deploying an AI model on a cloud-based infrastructure using NVIDIA GPUs. During the deployment, you notice that the model's inference times vary significantly across different instances, despite using the same instance type. What is the most likely cause of this inconsistency?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Variability in the GPU load due to other tenants on the same physical hardware is the most likely cause of inconsistent inference times in a cloud-based NVIDIA GPU deployment. In multi-tenant cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure with NVIDIA GPUs), instances share physical hardware, and contention for GPU resources can lead to performance variability, as noted in NVIDIA's 'AI Infrastructure for Enterprise' and cloud provider documentation. This affects inference latencydespite identical instance types.

CUDA version differences (A) are unlikely with consistent instance types. Unsuitable model architecture (B) would cause consistent, not variable, slowdowns. Network latency (C) impacts data transfer, not inference on the same instance. NVIDIA's cloud deployment guidelines point to multi-tenancy as a common issue.

D) Variability in the GPU load due to other tenants on the same physical hardware. Classic case of the cloud's 'shared-everything' model. Gotta love it!

Ah, the joys of cloud computing. D) Variability in the GPU load due to other tenants on the same physical hardware. It's like trying to share a slice of pizza with your sibling - you never know what you're gonna get!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe C) Network latency between cloud regions? Although, I can't imagine that would make that much of a difference. I'll go with D just to be safe.

I agree, it might also be D) Variability in the GPU load due to other tenants on the same physical hardware.

But what about A) Differences in the versions of the CUDA toolkit? Could that also be a factor?

A) Differences in the versions of the CUDA toolkit installed on the instances? Really? That seems like a stretch. I'm going with D.

I agree with Ona. The fluctuating GPU load can definitely impact the inference times.

I think the answer is D. Variability in the GPU load due to other tenants on the same physical hardware. That makes the most sense to me.
