Efficiency optimization

## The problem

Many clusters are not short of GPUs; their GPUs are waiting: for models to load, for models to switch, for checkpoints to finish writing. During those waits the GPUs draw power and produce nothing.

## Our approach

Cut the waiting first, then talk about adding GPUs. At 20 model switches per hour, effective compute utilization rises from 46.7% to 62.8% [R1](https://vuke.top/en/evidence/R1).

## Key points and sources

- Model switching: modeled from measured load times, effective utilization goes from 46.7% to 62.8% at 20 switches per hour [R1](https://vuke.top/en/evidence/R1)
- Concurrent loading: 8 GPUs cold-reading at once, 16% faster wall-clock and 30% faster per model [R1](https://vuke.top/en/evidence/R1)
- Training checkpoints: concurrent writes are 1.9× faster, shrinking idle bubbles during training [R1](https://vuke.top/en/evidence/R1)
- HBM equivalence: an external KV tier can stand in for 128 GB-class HBM residency (seven-way comparison on a 14B model, MetaX N260) [R5](https://vuke.top/en/evidence/R5)

## Test jointly first, decide afterwards

Every engagement starts with a gated joint test of about 10 weeks. Four gates are passed in sequence; if one is missed, the project stops there, so you never pay for a benefit that was not demonstrated.

- **G1 · Week 2 · Delivery acceptance**: All materials delivered and inspected; every array passes its power-on self-test with all 24 drives recognized.
- **G2 · Week 4 · Single-node baseline**: The single-node 8-GPU inference baseline is reproduced within ±10% of the R1 figures; a local stress test of one array reaches 83% line efficiency against the measured anchor.
- **G3 · Week 7 · Main joint-test gate**: KV tiering must deliver both a TTFT reduction of ≥25% and a throughput gain inside the measured +29–40% band; with 8 nodes sharing one array, read-back bandwidth approaches the NIC ceiling.
- **G4 · Week 10 · Stability and sign-off**: 72 hours of continuous load without interruption; single-drive and single-link fault injection stays invisible to the workload; a signed joint-test report is issued.
