NVIDIA Exam NCA-AIIO Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for NVIDIA's NCA-AIIO exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 2
[All NCA-AIIO Questions]

In your multi-tenant AI cluster, multiple workloads are running concurrently, leading to some jobs experiencing performance degradation. Which GPU monitoring metric is most critical for identifying resource contention between jobs?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

GPU Utilization Across Jobs is the most critical metric for identifying resource contention in a multi-tenant cluster. It shows how GPU resources are divided among workloads, revealing overuse or starvation via tools like nvidia-smi. Option B (temperature) indicates thermal issues, not contention. Option C (network latency) affects distributed tasks. Option D (memory bandwidth) is secondary. NVIDIA's DCGM supports this metric for contention analysis.

GPU Temperature, huh? That's a good one. Maybe we can just put a bunch of fans in the server room and call it a day. Where's the fun in that?

Network Latency? Really? Unless your jobs are all the way across the cluster, I don't see how that's going to help you identify resource contention. GPU Utilization is the way to go, folks.

I'm going with D, Memory Bandwidth Utilization. Gotta keep an eye on that memory pipeline, you know? Can't have jobs hogging all the bandwidth.

User 1: I think A) GPU Utilization Across Jobs is more critical. We need to see how much each job is using the GPU.

I agree, GPU Utilization is the way to go. You can't optimize what you can't measure, am I right?

GPU Utilization Across Jobs is definitely the key metric to look at. That's where the resource contention will show up first.
