Abstract
Graphics processing units (GPUs) have delivered promising speedups in data-parallel applications. A discrete GPU resides on the PCIe interface and has traditionally required data to be moved from the host memory to the GPU memory via PCIe. In certain applications, the overhead of these data transfers between memory spaces can nullify any performance gains achieved from faster computation on the GPU. Recent advances allow GPUs to directly access data from the host memory across the PCIe bus, thereby alleviating the data-transfer bottlenecks. Another class of accelerators called accelerated processing units (APUs) mitigate data-transfer overhead by placing CPU and GPU cores on the same physical die. However, APUs in the current form provide several different data paths between the CPU and GPU, all of which can differently affect application performance. In this paper, we explore the effects of different available data paths on both GPUs and APUs in the context of a broader set of computation and communication patterns commonly referred to as dwarfs.

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
