1 Commits • 1 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Focused on clarifying and governance around the epoch_gpus dataset in owid/etl. Delivered metadata clarifications that refine metrics, scope, and precision for GPU performance analytics, including explicit descriptions of performance per dollar and the inclusion/exclusion of running costs. Updated the epoch_gpus.meta.yml to encode these clarifications, improving data quality, readability, and consistency across downstream dashboards and reports. This work enhances trust in GPU cost-per-performance metrics and supports data-driven decisions about optimization and investment. Technologies demonstrated include metadata management, YAML-based configuration, data governance, and cross-team documentation.
