This includes most of the TF code used for the OSDI experiment. Perf sanity check on p3.16xl instances: Overall scaling looks ok, with the multi-node results within 5% of OSDI final numbers. This seems reasonable given that hugepages are not enabled here, and the param server shards are placed randomly.
