As we saw with the SOAP paper last time out, even with a fixed model variant and hardware there are a lot of different ways to map a training workload over the available hardware. Different hardware architectures (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, …) offer different performance and cost trade-offs.

A DNN model is trained to recognise patterns in space and time that lead to QoS violations. When a QoS violation is predicted to occur and a culprit microservice located, Seer uses a lower level tracing infrastructure with hardware monitoring primitives to identify the reason behind the QoS violation.
