What it does

Diagnose performance issues on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod clusters, uneven NCCL bandwidth across nodes and poor filesystem throughput. Read-only. Surfaces host-side signals (Xid, ECC, NVLink, EFA reachability, FSx saturation) and routes to the appropriate sibling skill (hyperpod-node-debugger, hyperpod-nccl, hyperpod-version-checker, hyperpod-issue-report) for any remediation. Triggers on uneven NCCL across nodes, straggler node, FSx slow, checkpoint slow, dataloader slow, filesystem bottleneck, FSx throughput, cross-AZ latency, topology mismatch.

HyperPod Performance Debugger

  1. Uneven NCCL performance across nodes, workload faster on some node sets than others, pairwise bandwidth variance, suspected straggler.
  2. Poor filesystem performance, training stalled on data loading, checkpoint save/load dominating step time, FSx throughput saturated.

Scope and delegation
