Optimize GPU Workload Allocation using LlamaIndex RAG Infrastructure

Cloud software providers facing variable GPU pricing need intelligent routing to optimize infrastructure costs while meeting SLA targets. Build an advanced RAG and agent workflow using LlamaIndex to query cluster performance metrics and dynamically match workloads to low-cost compute clusters. Achieve a 25% cost reduction without breach of SLA.

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

sla_compliance_check

Ensures selected node meets max_latency_sec constraint

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

cost_efficiency

Ratio of optimal cost achieved vs naive node selection • target: 0.85 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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