Which of the following aspects have led to an increase in the adoption of AI? (Choose two.)
The surge in AI adoption is driven by two key enablers: high-powered GPUs and large amounts of data. High-powered GPUs provide the massive parallel compute capabilities necessary to train complex AI models, particularly deep neural networks, by processing numerous operations simultaneously, significantly reducing training times. Simultaneously, the availability of large datasets---spanning text, images, and other modalities---provides the raw material that modern AI algorithms, especially data-hungry deep learning models, require to learn patterns and make accurate predictions. While Moore's Law (the doubling of transistor counts) has historically aided computing, its impact has slowed, and rule-based machine learning has largely been supplanted by data-driven approaches.

How many Mellanox ConnectX-6 Single Port VPI cards are in a DGX A100 system?
The DGX A100 system includes eight Mellanox ConnectX-6 Single Port VPI cards, providing high-speed connectivity (up to 200 Gb/s) for clustering and data transfer. These cards support versatile protocols (InfiniBand or Ethernet), enabling robust multi-node AI workloads, with eight being the standard configuration for this system.

Which aspect of computing uses large amounts of data to train complex neural networks?
Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, relies on large datasets to train multi-layered neural networks, enabling them to learn hierarchical feature representations and complex patterns autonomously. While machine learning encompasses broader techniques (some requiring less data), deep learning's dependence on vast data volumes distinguishes it. Inferencing, the application of trained models, typically uses smaller, real-time inputs rather than extensive training data.

Which type of GPU core was specifically designed to realistically simulate the lighting of a scene?
Ray Tracing Cores, introduced in NVIDIA's RTX architecture, are specialized hardware units built to accelerate ray-tracing computations---simulating light interactions (e.g., reflections, shadows) for photorealistic rendering in real time. CUDA Cores handle general-purpose parallel tasks, and Tensor Cores optimize matrix operations for AI, but only Ray Tracing Cores target lighting simulation.
