Nvidia ML Engineering questions
- Quantization — Hitting a 50ms p99 Without Wrecking Accuracy
Your transformer is 6.7B parameters in FP32, 96% accuracy, 180ms p99 on one A100. Product needs under 50ms p99. Estimate the footprint in FP32/FP16/INT8/INT4 and explain why quanti
- Quantization — PTQ vs QAT and Calibration Pitfalls
You must ship a quantized model. Contrast post-training quantization (PTQ) and quantization-aware training (QAT) in mechanism, cost, and when each wins; explain the role of the cal
- Distributed Training Pipeline for Trillion-Parameter Language Model
Design a distributed training system for a trillion-parameter language model.
- Data quality strategies for large language model training pipelines
How would you approach data curation for an LLM training pipeline?
Nvidia AI Engineering questions
- Topological sort with dependency graph for execution ordering
Given a DAG of dependencies, how do you order execution correctly?
- LLM RAG efficiency metrics latency throughput token usage cost analysis
How do you measure whether an LLM or RAG project you worked on is efficient?
- CNN Architecture: Convolutional Layers Exploit Spatial Locality Image Data
How do convolutional neural networks (CNNs) differ from traditional neural networks in processing image data?
Nvidia AI Security Engineering questions
- Defending Proprietary LLM APIs Against Model Extraction
Design defences against model extraction attacks for a proprietary LLM API Nvidia has invested $500M training a proprietary LLM for enterprise customers. A competitor could potent
