When the process of a large language model (LLM) engine fails, NVIDIA Dynamo’s shadow engine recovery feature can be implemented within seconds, without the need for a time-consuming cold restart. The standard cold restart process involves loading weights from storage to HBM, compiling the kernel, and capturing the CUDA graph, which can take several minutes for large model initialization. During this period, surviving nodes must handle the traffic. Shadow engine recovery is a preview feature of NVIDIA Dynamo, designed to avoid the aforementioned delays and traffic pressure.
