Not that many systems handle 6B QPS. 😀 "Bigtable has been in continuous production use at Google for more than 15 years now, processing over 6 billion requests per second at peak and with over 10 exabytes of data under management. "

Very excited to see the MLPerf 0.7 results released today, where Google TPUs set records in six of the eight benchmarks! We need bigger benchmarks, because we can now train the ResNet-50, BERT, Transformer, & SSD benchmarks each in under 30 seconds.

Current U.S. policies that make it hard or impossible for some of the most talented people in the world to enter this country, or the proposed tax policies that will tax graduate students that make $28k per year as if they make $71k will definitely hurt the U.S.

Great article. "Countries that are prepared will see a fatality rate of ~0.5% (South Korea) to 0.9% (rest of China). Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5%" Taking decisive action early is important: it can reduce the fatality rate 10X.
