Production Troubleshooting
Critical Production Issues
Out of Memory Errors (CUDA OOM)
Symptoms:
- • "CUDA out of memory" errors during inference
- • Process crashes with memory allocation failures
- • Gradual memory leak leading to system instability
Solutions:
- • Reduce gpu_memory_utilization to 0.8 or lower
- • Decrease max_model_len to reduce context memory
- • Enable model CPU offloading for memory relief
- • Monitor memory fragmentation and restart service periodically
Inter-GPU Communication Failures
Symptoms:
- • NCCL initialization timeouts
- • Inconsistent tensor parallelism results
- • Slow inference due to communication bottlenecks
Solutions:
export NCCL_DEBUG=INFO export NCCL_TREE_THRESHOLD=0 export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 nvidia-smi topo -m # Check GPU topology
Performance Degradation
Common Causes & Solutions:
- • Monitor GPU temperatures with nvidia-smi
- • Improve datacenter cooling systems
- • Reduce power limits if necessary
- • Implement scheduled service restarts
- • Use memory pooling and recycling
- • Monitor memory usage patterns
