accelerator-utilization (AU) threshold for a valid MLPerf Storage v3.0 training result, by workload

Unet3D ≥90%, RetinaNet ≥85%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
Scopev3.0 emulates NVIDIA B200 or AMD MI355 accelerators. The v2.0 round (August 2025, H100 emulation) used 90% for 3D U-Net and ResNet-50 and 70% for CosmoFlow; thresholds and emulated accelerators are not comparable across versions.
