Abstract
The knapsack-based task scheduler has been previously shown to provide Quality of Service to malleable tasks on computational grids. In this study, we measure the sensitivity of the knapsack-derived schedules to variations in the prescribed allocation policies and their corresponding utility functions. In particular, we explore the effects of varying the strengths of an external user-specified monetary metric, an intrinsic estimated response time mediated by nearness to completion time metric, and of varying the shape of a sigmoidal normalizing utility function. The results of our analyses show that the knapsack strategy results in schedules that are consistent with the defined allocation policies. We conclude by indicating the recommended metric weights, that is, those that produce desirable schedule characteristics.

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
