GreenRay AIO

Hands-on lab simulator and mock exam for the NVIDIA-Certified Professional: AI Operations (NCP-AIO) exam.

GreenRay AIO drops you into a broken or half-configured four-node DGX H100 cluster managed by Base Command Manager and asks you to find out what is wrong and fix it, with the commands you would use on real systems: nvidia-smi, dcgmi, Slurm, kubectl and helm with the GPU Operator, cmsh, InfiniBand tools, Docker and NGC. Nothing is real: no GPU, no network, no account. Everything runs in one Python process on your laptop.

A ninety-second lab, start to finish: install, ask what to practise, diagnose a slow node, fix it, read the debrief.
