    Abstract: A risk of breakage of a sample holder can be reduced and a biochemical sample or a liquid sample can be observed easily and with a high observation throughput. A sample holder 101 holding a sample includes: a sample chamber including a first insulating thin film 110 and a second insulating thin film 111 that sandwich and hold the sample 200 in a liquid or gel form and face each other, a vacuum partition wall inside which the sample chamber holding the sample is fixed in a state in which the thin film is exposed to a surrounding atmosphere, and whose internal space is kept at a degree of vacuum at least lower than that of the sample room at the time of observation of the sample, a detection electrode 820 disposed to face the second insulating thin film in a state in which the sample chamber is fixed to the vacuum partition wall, and a signal detection unit 50 connected to the detection electrode. Before the surrounding atmosphere of the sample holder is evacuated from an atmospheric pressure to a vacuum, the charged particle beam device receives a detection signal from the signal detection unit via a connector and detects an abnormality of the sample chamber based on the detection signal.

    Abstract: A computing system capable of obtaining a calculation speed exceeding that of 16-bit floating point processing while maintaining accuracy of calculation results. A computing system includes a parameter server, a communication path and a worker. The parameter server has a storage unit that stores a parameter value of a training target model, and a first conversion unit that converts the parameter value into data represented by a floating point number with 10 bits or less. The communication path transmits the data transmitted and received between the parameter server and the worker. The worker has a processing unit that computes a product and a sum of the data. The parameter server further has a second conversion unit that converts the data with 10 bits or less received from the worker into an updating difference, and an updating unit that updates the parameter value on the basis of the updating difference.
