Meta RSC-1 versus RSC-2 observed job-failure counts normalized by allocated node-days

6.50 vs 2.34observed

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.
ScopeTwo A100 research clusters with distinct workloads. Counts jobs using more than 128 GPUs; failures are NODE_FAIL jobs plus FAILED jobs attributed to a critical health check, divided by job runtime × allocated nodes. Not unique failed-FRU counts or a universally portable component failure intensity.
CaveatTwo named A100 research clusters and one event definition; not a universal component λ.
