synchronous-job overprovisioning cut when GPU availability rises 99.5% → 99.9% (4x)

20% → 5%modeled

Value kindmodeled — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
ScopeA projection in the Delta paper ('we project the impact of GPU node availability on larger-scales'), not a measured stocked-spare or inventory experiment. The 20%-to-5% step is a modeled availability sensitivity on a 1,056-GPU A100/H100 system; it does not establish that deeper spares caused the availability improvement.
