Data Center Facilities and Compute Engineer
Ingest time-series DCGM thermal readings and clock frequency records from physical accelerator nodes.
Identify sudden clock speed drops correlated with thermal limit breaches.
Map localized hot spots across server chassis fan zones and compute trays.
Invoke hosted Claude API to draft a mechanical thermal mitigation and load-shedding plan.
Chassis thermal heat-map dashboard with cooling fan status indicators and maintenance export.
Generate synthetic CSV files with 24-hour sensor telemetry representing 16 GPUs across two rack chassis. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.
NVIDIA DCGM exporter Reference DCGM exporter metrics for accelerator die temperature, slowdown throttling flags, and fan speeds.
pydantic-ai, anthropic, matplotlib. pydantic-ai validates thermal reading schemas and bounds before initiating automated risk assessment. Hosted Claude API accessed via SDK for root-cause synthesis; no internal hardware measurements asserted.
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Identifies GPU thermal throttling episodes where temperature exceeds 84C and clocks drop by over 20 percent.
Highlights chassis fan zone degradation where fan duty cycle is pinned at maximum with rising temps.
Synthesizes an incident ticket specifying failed fan modules and recommended job rescheduling.
