As indicated by the paper Google published, a few cells have an arrival rate of 10K tasks/min, and a Borgmaster can utilize 10-14 CPU cores and 50 GB of RAM. A borgmaster achieves 99.99% availability, yet tasks continue to be executed regardless of the possibility that the borgmaster or a borglet goes down. Half of the machines run at least 9 tasks and a few machines have 25 tasks and 4,500 threads. Assignment startup latency is by and large 25s, 20 of them being spent on installing the package. Much of the time is taken up by disk access
