Abstract
This paper describes and tests a parallel message-passing code for constructing sparse approximate inverse preconditioners using Frobenius norm minimization. The sparsity patterns of the preconditioners are chosen as patterns of powers of sparsified matrices. Sparsification is necessary when powers of a matrix have a large number of nonzeros, making the approximate inverse computation expensive. For our test problems, the minimum solution time is achieved with approximate inverses with less than twice the number of nonzeros of the original matrix. Additional accuracy is not compensated by the increased cost per iteration. The results lead to further understanding of how to use these methods and how well these methods work in practice. In addition, this paper describes programming techniques required for high performance, including one-sided communication, local coordinate numbering, and load repartitioning.

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
