Problems / LLM serving, easy

Self-hosted GPUs at capacity

You serve an open-weights model on your own GPU pool with 32 slots. Requests take about a second; traffic is 50 a second.

Free to open. Runs in your browser, no sign-up.

Your goals

Success ≥ 99%, p99 ≤ 5 s.

The traffic

50 requests a second for 30 seconds: 100% request (reads).

The system

What each component does in this design, and what calls it. The simulator mimics each one from these settings.

Hints

Try it first. Open one hint at a time if you get stuck.

Hint 1

32 slots ÷ 1 s ≈ 32 requests a second.

Hint 2

Add GPUs (replicas of the serving pool).

One way to solve it

Double the serving pool’s capacity.
