Challenge

Google ADK & Upstage Continuous Batching Scheduler

Uncontrolled request queues lead to latency spikes and excessive power consumption during high-throughput inference runs. Build a Google ADK agent framework integrated with Upstage document parsing tools to schedule continuous batching and route requests across accelerator nodes subject to dynamic power and thermal caps.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

power_constraint_check

Ensures node power cap was not breached during evaluation.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

throughput_efficiency

Tokens per second generated per watt consumed • target: 3.5 • range: 1.5-10

Binary check
