Enable the company to run large language model (LLM) training and inference more efficiently by optimizing GPU resource utilization and allocation across its multi-GPU compute cluster.
This initiative reduces operating costs and accelerates deployment of AI products.
Current LLM workloads consume significant GPU resources, but:
GPU utilization averages 40–55%, leaving expensive hardware under-used.
Inference workloads experience latency variability due to inefficient GPU scheduling.
Training jobs wait in queue because of poor resource packing and fragmentation.
Increasing demand for model fine-tuning and experimentation is driving costs upward.
The organization needs a scalable way to maximize throughput on existing infrastructure before investing in more GPUs.

Implement an optimization layer that improves how workloads utilize GPUs through:
Increasing demand for model fine-tuning and experimentation is driving costs upward.
Metrics-driven autoscaling, cost visibility, GPU utilization dashboards
Mixed precision (FP16/BF16), DeepSpeed ZeRO, activation checkpointing
Quantization + batching for inference
TensorRT / ONNX Runtime compilation where applicable
Topology-aware placement (NVLink local grouping)
Fractional GPU allocation (MIG/MPS)
Gang scheduling to eliminate idle resource blocking

Cost savings based on cluster utilization improvements
For an enterprise GPU cluster (example: 32 × A100 GPUs), improving utilization from ~50% to >75% yields:
≈ $1.2M annual savings
(based on reduced GPU-hour consumption and deferred hardware expansion)
Stakeholder Ask
