Operate AI like production: serving, GPUs, latency, capacity, routing and reliability.
Accelerator
An accelerator is specialized hardware that speeds AI computation, such as GPUs, TPUs or custom chips.
Think of it like
Think of Accelerator like familiar infrastructure capacity and traffic engineering, except the scarce resources are often tokens, GPU memory and model latency.
Real life
High-scale AI services depend on Accelerator to keep cost and latency under control.
SRE lens
Capacity planning must consider accelerator type, memory and interconnect.
