Question 970

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: Operations records only final success and omits intermittent ECC or fabric alarms during a 24-hour test. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Inspect burn-in start and stop times, GPU thermals, errors, link counters, competing workloads and incident timeline.
  2. Accept a multi-hour burn-in from its final exit code alone while ignoring intermediate fatal events and throttling.
  3. Plan approved-duration coordinated burn-in with continuous telemetry and clean test resource reservations.
  4. Collect optical power and FEC or BER data over representative load, then isolate unsafe optics or fibers.
  5. Review training step timing, data-loader health, collective logs, checkpoint round trip and worker errors.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Inspect burn-in start and stop times, GPU thermals, errors, link counters, competing workloads and incident timeline. Observed scenario: Operations records only final success and omits intermittent ECC or fabric alarms during a 24-hour test.

C:

This is an appropriate correction for Long-duration burn-in schedule and symptom correlation: Plan approved-duration coordinated burn-in with continuous telemetry and clean test resource reservations. Observed scenario: Operations records only final success and omits intermittent ECC or fabric alarms during a 24-hour test. The governing mechanism is: Some thermal, power, memory and fabric failures appear only under sustained stress; complete evidence includes trends.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for Long-duration burn-in schedule and symptom correlation: Accept a multi-hour burn-in from its final exit code alone while ignoring intermediate fatal events and throttling. Operations records only final success and omits intermittent ECC or fabric alarms during a 24-hour test. Some thermal, power, memory and fabric failures appear only under sustained stress; complete evidence includes trends.

D:

This alternative is relevant to Optical FEC BER validation during burn-in but does not directly resolve the current Long-duration burn-in schedule and symptom correlation issue: Collect optical power and FEC or BER data over representative load, then isolate unsafe optics or fibers. Observed scenario: Operations records only final success and omits intermittent ECC or fabric alarms during a 24-hour test.

E:

That option concerns NeMo distributed training end-to-end burn-in. Some thermal, power, memory and fabric failures appear only under sustained stress; complete evidence includes trends.

Question 971
