SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1244

A team is developing a machine learning model by training on the latest Snowflake features. The training is taking much longer than expected to complete.

Which step will accelerate the model training?

Answer options

• A. Increase the size of the virtual warehouse.
• B. Add additional clusters to the virtual warehouse.
• C. Use a Snowpark-optimized virtual warehouse.
• D. Enable the query acceleration service.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Using a Snowpark-optimized virtual warehouse is designed specifically to enhance performance for machine learning tasks, thus accelerating model training. While increasing warehouse size or adding clusters may help, they are not as effective as utilizing a warehouse optimized for Snowpark. Enabling the query acceleration service can improve query performance but does not directly relate to speeding up model training.
