Abstract
Massively multiplayer games run on large server farms in order to handle the huge load that is caused by the thousands of players that play these games concurrently. Current systems use very simple load-balancing mechanisms restricting the semantics of the game. In this paper, we present a dynamic load balancing mechanism that considers both the load associated with performing game actions as well as the load incurred through interest management. As clients join, they can take on load due to game actions and update notifications. When players flock to some part of the world, our system is able to dynamically redistribute the imbalanced interest management load among servers. This hybrid mechanism is integrated into the Mammoth multiplayer gaming environment and our real-world experiments show how equal load distribution is maintained under changing workloads.

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
