Much of the ML literature focuses on model training, evaluation, and scoring. We must quickly surface the most stand-out highlights from the titles available on our service in the form of images and videos in the member experience. First, we must provide the content that will bring them joy. Artists and video editors must create them.

Netflix engineers run a series of tests and benchmarks to validate the device across multiple dimensions including compatibility of the device with the Netflix SDK, device performance, audio-video playback quality, license handling, encryption and security. Likewise it has very low requirements on the initial amount of training data.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I also learned how marketing worked, and began to build my presentation and training skills as I was sent around the world by Sun to teach workshops and speak at events.

The goal here is to reduce the training times of DNNs by finding efficient parallel execution strategies, and even including its search time, FlexFlow is able to increase training throughput by up to 3.3x FlexFlow is also given a device topology graph describing all the available hardware devices and their interconnections.

I guessed that maybe ChatGPT only knew about v2 since it was trained on open-source code from before September 2021 (its knowledge cutoff date) and v2 was the dominant format before that date. To my surprise, it knew about v3 from its training data and generated a v3 manifest file for me in response. But still, I liked how Moment.js

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. When available, it can use hardware level performance counters.

Systems researchers are doing an excellent job improving the performance of 5-year old benchmarks, but gradually making it harder to explore innovative machine learning research ideas. Performance on accelerators matters because almost all current machine learning research, and most training of production models, uses them.

This approach can be expressed in more formal way by the following equation: where is the data available for analysis, is the space of a retailer’s actions and decisions, is an econometric model defined as a function of actions and data, and is the optimal strategy. This framework resembles the approach suggested in [JK98].
