How does it compare to the other systems we&#039;ve discussed in class?<br /> * What are the key insight(s) that inform the design of Spanner?<br /> * Do you think these insights are general? Specifically, can they be used by other systems?<br /> <br /> Tensorflow<br /> * What problem domain is Tensorflow designed for?<br /> * What is the programming model for tensorflow? How does it compare with that of MapReduce?<br /> * Why is tensorflow&#039;s model a good fit for its problem domain?<br /> * How does this model map onto a cluster of workstations?<br /> * How general is their approach?</div>
