The @googlecloud MultiSlice system (see blog post in tweet below) is an external version of some internal software+hardware we've been using for a while to scale some of our largest ML training runs across multiple TPUv4 and TPUv5e pods. Scaling made easy!

H100 GPUs lack gaming hardware, potential for CAVE rendering demo
By
–
The H100 GPUs don’t have either rasterization or ray tracing hardware, so conventional game engines can’t run on them. I do think it would be a fun to do some kind of super high end 240 fps CAVE rendering demo with a cluster!

Montreal Datacenter: Hardware Mix and CO2 Impact Timeline
By
–
I think Montreal is a relatively new datacenter (but great for CO2e!). The land purchase was just announced in May, 2021, so with construction and equipment deployment timelines, it may not be fully populated, so mix of hardware there may change.

Google Cloud Datacenters Carbon Intensity and TPUv4 Sustainability
By
–
Depends on the data center (I actually don't know which one this was filmed in). We report %age of Google carbon free energy as well as Grid carbon intensity
(gCO2eq/kWh) per Cloud datacenter here. Most TPUv4 pods are installed in ones marked "Low CO2" https://
