GPUAlert: A Zero-Instrumentation Process-Boundary Monitor for Diagnosing GPU Training-Job Failures
arXiv:2607.01409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GPU training jobs fail often, roughly two in five on large production clusters, yet the operator typically learns of a failure only by reconnecting hours later. Experiment trackers require editing the training script and maintaining a cloud connection; the scheduler's mail hook delivers a single status line with no cause and no logs. GPUAlert is a command-line wrapper that monitors any training command at the process boundary, and with no change to that command, emails a structured notification on completion carrying a classified failure cause,
The increasing complexity and scale of AI models mean GPU training jobs frequently fail without clear diagnostic tools, creating a bottleneck in development and deployment.
This tool addresses a critical pain point in AI infrastructure, improving efficiency and reducing downtime for compute-intensive tasks, which is vital as AI systems become more prevalent.
Developers and operators can now diagnose GPU training job failures more effectively and automatically, reducing manual intervention and accelerating AI development cycles.
