Question 760

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A communication test reports high transfer speed but distributed results differ across ranks due to data corruption. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Publish NCCL throughput numbers despite reported data-validation errors or hanging communicator ranks.
  2. Validate collective correctness over representative sizes and iteration counts alongside throughput.
  3. Inspect nccl-tests output verification flags, message sizes, GPU logs and reproducible error traces.
  4. Run supported single-node NCCL collectives spanning the intended local GPUs and compare with baseline topology.
  5. Inspect NCCL debug traces, selected network plugin, environment variables and host network topology.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

This is an appropriate correction for NCCL device buffers and data integrity checks: Validate collective correctness over representative sizes and iteration counts alongside throughput. Observed scenario: A communication test reports high transfer speed but distributed results differ across ranks due to data corruption. The governing mechanism is: Collective performance is not useful when data integrity or communicator completion fails.

C:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Inspect nccl-tests output verification flags, message sizes, GPU logs and reproducible error traces. Observed scenario: A communication test reports high transfer speed but distributed results differ across ranks due to data corruption. The governing mechanism is: Collective performance is not useful when data integrity or communicator completion fails.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for NCCL device buffers and data integrity checks: Publish NCCL throughput numbers despite reported data-validation errors or hanging communicator ranks. A communication test reports high transfer speed but distributed results differ across ranks due to data corruption. Collective performance is not useful when data integrity or communicator completion fails.

D:

That option concerns Intra-node NCCL all-reduce test scope. Collective performance is not useful when data integrity or communicator completion fails.

E:

This alternative is relevant to NCCL transport environment and benchmark reproducibility but does not directly resolve the current NCCL device buffers and data integrity checks issue: Inspect NCCL debug traces, selected network plugin, environment variables and host network topology. Observed scenario: A communication test reports high transfer speed but distributed results differ across ranks due to data corruption.
