They have been known to eat each other, but this is not terribly common. By and large, the two species avoid each other or only consume the other if it is dead. The primary reason for this is that the "food reward" in each case is offset by the possibility of being seriously injured by the target.

YouTube has a documented Orca vs Great White.

A white shark would have to be nearing starvation to attack an adult killer whale, although an unguarded calf would be prey.
