Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A new compilation framework enables the execution of numerical-intensive applications, written in Python, on a hybrid execution environment formed by a CPU and a GPU. This compiler automatically computes the set of memory locations that need to be transferred to the GPU, and produces the correct mapping between the CPU and the GPU address spaces. Thus, the programming model implements a virtual shared address space. This framework is implemented as a combination of unPython, an ahead-of-time compiler from Python/NumPy to the C programming language, and jit4GPU, a just-in-time compiler from C to the AMD CAL interface. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that for some benchmarks the generated GPU code is 50 times faster than generated OpenMP code. The GPU performance also compares favorably with optimized CPU BLAS code for single-precision computations in most cases.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
