NCP-AII Question 133
Select 3You are tasked with configuring NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) on an NVIDIA A100 GPU to optimize resource utilization for a mixed workload environment consisting of multiple AI training and inference tasks. Which of the following steps are necessary to properly configure and deploy MIG on the GPU?
- A
Enable MIG mode on the A100 GPU using the NVIDIA System Management Interface (nvidia-smi).
- B
Partition the GPU into MIG instances based on the required profiles for the workload.
- C
Install a separate NVIDIA driver specifically designed for MIG-enabled hardware.
- D
Bind each MIG instance to specific processes or containers for workload isolation.
- E
Restart the host system after enabling MIG mode to apply the changes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Configuring MIG involves enabling MIG mode on the GPU, partitioning the GPU into MIG instances based on workload requirements, and optionally binding instances to specific processes or containers for isolation. The standard NVIDIA driver supports MIG without the need for a separate installation or host system reboot.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Enabling MIG mode is the first step in configuring MIG on supported GPUs. This can be done using the nvidia-smi tool.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Once MIG mode is enabled, the GPU must be partitioned into different MIG instances using compatible profiles, depending on the resource needs of the workload.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. MIG does not require a separate NVIDIA driver. The standard NVIDIA driver supports MIG configuration.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Binding MIG instances to specific processes or containers ensures proper workload isolation and resource allocation.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Restarting the host system is not required after enabling MIG mode. The changes take effect without a reboot.
