Where the article explains it
where W is the weight bytes touched and K the cache bytes.
The passage around this formula
where W is the weight bytes touched and K the cache bytes. Pope and colleagues formalised the partitioning analysis behind this and showed how latency, throughput and cost trade against one another under different sharding layouts [ 12 ] . The mitigations are well documented and all attack the numerator…
