A team at a mid-sized AI startup ran a distributed training job for 47 hours. Somewhere around $50,000 in cloud GPU costs, a higher-priority job arrived on the cluster. The scheduler preempted their run. No checkpointing was configured. They started from scratch.
That story isn't unusual. As models have grown from millions to hundreds of billions of parameters, GPU infrastructure has gone from "something the ops team handles" to a core engineering discipline. The decisions you make about scheduling, memory allocation, and job priority directly determine how fast your team can iterate, and how much that iteration costs.
Continue GPU Infrastructure & Scheduling with the applied case study, diagnostic checks, and the recommendation you would give a PM.
