  • Foundation for modeling AI systems, devices, and infrastructure
  • Distinguished from sites by having clear boundaries

Examples in AI Context​

  • Individual AI server instances
  • Specific computing devices
  • AI model files and executables
  • Network routers and switches
  • Data storage devices
