Was involved in this research project for a few months in early 2019. Feel free to post some questions that are not sensitive to internal details, and I can answer them here.

Edit: not one of the coauthors, since I left the team in April 2019.

This is a really valuable contribution, just to benchmark whatever you are doing vs what's possible, in a similar way that the large datacenter operators have shown everyone that PUE of 1.1 is achievable. This data shows that you can achieve > 60% utilization of both compressible and incompressible resources, overcommit both kinds of resources by 200%, while scheduling task arrivals at over 100 per second. It really is an extremely valuable glimpse into how the bigs operate.

Interesting, I can only wish to run this sort of tech for my own small company.

You can! I have all the equivalent graphs and most of the equivalent features on the k8s clusters I run. Google has commoditized borg, at least for the scales that most companies will run.
