Abstract
On November 4, 2002, a Canada-wide virtual supercomputer gave a chemistry research team the opportunity to do several years worth of computing in a single day. This experiment, called CISS-1 (Canadian Internetworked Scientific Supercomputer), had three research impacts: (1) in partnership with C3.ca, created a new precedent for cooperation among Canadian high-performance computing sites, (2) demonstrated the scalability and capabilities of the Trellis system for wide-area high-performance metacomputing, and (3) produced a new computational chemistry result. Using roughly 1,376 dedicated processors, at 20 facilities, and in 18 administrative domains across the country, approximately 3.5 CPU years of computing were completed. CISS-1 is a prototype for future research projects requiring large-scale computing in Canada. This is the first step towards making CISS a regular event on the Canadian research landscape.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
