failures per thousand node-days on Meta's RSC-1 cluster (11 months, ~80%+ utilization)

6.50 / 1000observed

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.
ScopeJob failures on Meta's A100 RSC-1 research cluster over an 11-month window at ~80%+ utilization, divided by allocated node-days (job runtime x allocated nodes). An event-per-exposure rate for one named cluster and workload mix, not unique failed-FRU counts and not a portable component failure intensity; the companion RSC-2 figure is 2.34 on the same basis.
