Abstract
To efficiently utilize the computing resources and provide good quality of service (QoS) to the end-to-end tasks in the distributed real-time systems, we can enforce the utilization bounds on multiple processors. The utilization control is challenging especially when the workload in the system is unpredictable. To handle the workload uncertainties, current research favors feedback control techniques, and recent work combines the task rate adaptation and processor frequency scaling in an asynchronous way for CPU utilization control, where task rates and the processor frequencies are tuned asynchronously in two decoupled control loops for control convenience. Since the two manipulated variables, task rates and processor frequencies, contribute to the CPU utilizations together with strong coupling, adjusting them asynchronously may degrade the utilization control performance. In this paper, we provide a novel scheme to make synchronous rate and frequency adjustment to enforce the utilization setpoint, referred to as SyRaFa scheme. SyRaFa can handle the workload uncertainties by identifying the system model online and can simultaneously adjust the manipulated variables by solving an optimization problem in each sampling period. Extensive evaluation results demonstrate SyRaFa outperforms the existing schemes especially under severe workload uncertainties.

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
