A Parallel Implementation of FANO using OpenMP and MPI
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a parallel implementation of the Fast Accurate NURBS Optimization (FANO) program using OpenMP and MPI. The software is used for designing imaging freeform optical systems comprised of NURBS surfaces. An important step in the design process is the optimization of the shape and position of the optical surfaces within the optical system. FANO uses the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm for minimization of the merit function. The parallelization of the code is achieved without modifying readily available commercial or open source implementations of the LM algorithm. Instead, MPI instructions are being used to distribute the computation of the Jacobian over multiple nodes, each of which performs the computationally intensive task of raytracing. The results from the raytracing are collected on the master and used for calculating the values of the variable parameters for the next iteration. Speed increases of ~100x and more are possible when running on the cluster of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Super Computing Center (LLSC).

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
