Abstract
Over the last five years, major microprocessor manufacturers have released plans for a rapidly increasing number of cores per microprossesor, with upwards of 64 cores by 2015. In this setting, a sequential RAM computer will no longer accurately reflect the architecture on which algorithms are being executed. In this paper we propose a model of low degree parallelism (LoPRAM) which builds upon the RAM and PRAM models yet better reflects recent advances in parallel (multi-core) architectures. This model supports a high level of abstraction that simplifies the design and analysis of parallel programs. More importantly we show that in many instances it naturally leads to work-optimal parallel algorithms via simple modifications to sequential algorithms.

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
