Abstract
AbstractRecent advances in parallel software development for solving three-dimensional (3-D) neutron transport problems using the characteristics method are presented. The characteristics method solves the transport equation by collecting local angular fluxes along neutron paths. In order to be able to solve large 3-D transport problems in a reasonable time frame, the characteristics solver needs to be accelerated. After applying adequate numerical acceleration techniques, the only issue is to parallelize the solver. The parallelization of this solver is based on distributing a group of tracks, generated by a ray-tracing procedure, on several processors. Different distributing schemes and load-balancing techniques based on a calculation load model are presented. A message-passing model is used to communicate the local solutions between processes participating in solving a problem. Both analytical models of this parallel algorithm and performance analysis are presented and illustrated by several examples.

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
