Re:220,000 cores and counting: largest ever public cloud job by scott_s on Thursday April 20, 2017 @06:01PM (#14161310)
Good point! Which reminds me that I left off pipeline-parallelism, which is very common in dataflow programming models. And Tensorflow is a dataflow model. But I think that the core computation in Tensorflow programs will tend to be largely data-parallel affairs. That is, I think such programs tend to have a bunch of data-parallel computational kernels connected in a DAG. When I made that comment, I was thinking more of a Cilk style program.

(I work on a dataflow language and system.)
