The passage around this formula
purely from the failure-rate side as accelerator count N grows. Comparing that to MLPerf’s own reported tightening — interval falling from 9.3 to 1.5 minutes, a 6.2-times increase in frequency, as scale rises 6.25-times from 16,000 to 100,000 accelerators — the real tightening is close to linear in scale, noticeably steeper than the this…
