Right now, I'm having to first go to the dashboard url and then click on the pytorch-nightly tab. If I can pin that tab's direct url to my browser, that would be awesomesauce.

@thisisalbertliang developed a UNet3D PyTorch/XLA codebase that can run on both TPU and GPU.
To enhance our TPU test suite, we hope to add a convergence test for this UNet3D model on TPU v3-8

When I click a cell and then close the popup, colors get stuck like this: https://screenshot.googleplex.com/KgG3vdkxuYz

I can click on an empty pixel and it comes back.

Different tabs have different-sized boxes representing pass/fail status. The plot height/width scales with number of tests and number of days of data. Try to find some way to scale such that:

1. boxes are square
2. boxes are same size between tabs

Idea: Oneshot runs are usually looked at and analyzed manually, so no automated restarts may be required in that case.

The current command in the dashboard to download logs requires copy-pasting into a terminal with gcloud installed.

We should instead be able to hit the entries.list HTTP endpoint: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/entries/list

This should give the same result as gcloud logging read: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/tools/gcloud-logging#listing-logs

With that, we should be able to download the logs from the dashboard UI

It would be great if we could tag failures with causes such as infrastructure flakiness, model regressions, or erroneous test configs. It may also be useful to link to bugs or github issues. This would be useful both for record-keeping (e.g. tracking flakiness over time) and to communicate with teammates if an error has been triaged.

example: https://xl-ml-test.appspot.com/metrics?test_name=pt-nightly-resnet50-func-v3-8

The newest entry is on the left, oldest is to the right. It feels weird and counterintuitive to me. I feel it would be better if it went from left to right, WDYT?

I'd like to:

1. Be able to email alerts to multiple recipients
2. Send some test failure emails to certain recipients and not others, i.e. each test should have a list of addresses to alert

Small comment that it seems like the test names are not searchable on the dashboard UI. I find it useful especially when we start having many tests per page.

I think we should continue to show any currently out-of-bounds metrics first in the page.

Aside from that, some kind of sorting would be nice for all the in-bounds metrics.

One idea is to sort by stddev of the metric for the last N runs. This would give us a sense of which metrics are becoming increasingly unstable

Occasionally we might want to check hyperparameters when comparing between stacks. This would require the model itself to dump its parameters (e.g. classifier_trainer in TF) but would be great for interpretability.

FR: Current dashboard seems to display every test stored in the metrics table. We should have the option to toggle hiding inactive tests or hide them by default and give an option to reveal them (this was a pretty nice feature of our legacy dashboard).

Failed runs just say "failure" at the moment. If it showed a one line message from the traceback, could be useful.

It would be cool if we could:

• Click a button, which pulls up a text box
• Inside the text box contains the command for a given one shot
• Make any modifications to that textbox
• Run the command that way and return the logs

This is a non-interesting failure mode, and these failures are mostly noise.

Happened twice this week. Example.

Instead of counting stable instances in the IG and sleeping, I think it would be better to use gcloud compute instance-groups managed wait-until-stable $IG --zone $ZONE. WDYT?

E.g.

• p50, p95, p99 of examples/sec
• Start up and wall time

As more and more tests are added, we'll be scrolling when looking to the dashboard, and the top of the screen looks like: https://screenshot.googleplex.com/TvKeW5ivhuh

Right now you have to click the "x" button at top right of modal to click it. I'd like to be able to click anywhere outside the modal to close it

Right now, we're having to track the email alerts and cut b/'s separately. While email alerts are nice, we could also have buganizer bugs in parallel to track non trivial failures, and noise will be reduced if we have trivial failures that auto-close the next succesful run.
