Questão 1 de 150/15 respondidas

Over three weeks, p95 latency of your agent's LLM endpoint on NVIDIA GPUs has crept up 30%, while traffic grew 5%. No alert has fired yet. DCGM metrics and inference server logs are being collected, but nobody has reviewed them. What is the most proactive step?

Scale down the number of inference endpoints, so that costs stay predictable during the investigation.

Review GPU utilization and memory telemetry, and check inference logs for queue and cache bottlenecks.

Upgrade the cluster to newer GPUs, which will absorb the latency growth whatever its cause.

Raise the server's maximum batch size, so that each GPU processes more requests on each pass.
