AXIOM BOINC SESSION RESULTS Session timestamp: 2026-03-04 09:27 (America/Denver) Scope: Part 1 validation/credit + Part 2 deploy/research consolidation PART 1: RESULTS REVIEWED AND CREDIT AWARDED - Reviewed 273 completed success results from the latest validation pass (all parseable experiment_result payloads; 0 parse failures, 0 error payloads). - Credit awarded this session: 3,279 total across 273 results (CPU 261, GPU 12), within the 10,000 cap. - Runtime profile of reviewed rows: min 49.06s, median 846.10s, max 1221.28s. - Top credited users this pass: ChelseaOilman (+2374), Orange Kid (+384), Steve Dodd (+240), PyHelix (+127), WTBroughton (+66). CLEANUP AND RELIABILITY ACTIONS - Dead-host stuck-task cleanup (>12h running and >6h no contact): 0 aborted. - Hard-ceiling cleanup (>48h): 0 aborted. - Broken-experiment screening (CPU/GPU split): no high-failure multi-host crash pattern; no broad aborts applied. - Counters after run: credited_count.txt=5650; total_results_count.txt=4896; uncredited completed success rows at cutoff=74. PART 2: DEPLOYMENT SUMMARY CPU deployment - Host-targeted queue fill executed for active CPU hosts with per-host goal of ~3x CPU queued work. - CPU hosts seen: 81 total; low-RAM skips (<6GB): 2; eligible hosts targeted: 79. - CPU workunits created: 2937. - CPU scripts deployed: wd_batchnoise_interaction.py, wd_labelsmooth_interaction.py. GPU deployment checkpoint - GPU deployment pass used scripts: wd_curvature_trigger_gpu.py and wd_timing_scale_gpu.py. - The captured Part 2 run log was interrupted before final GPU totals were printed; live queue checkpoint confirms target GPU lines are active. - Current queued GPU results for those scripts: 19 across 6 hosts. - Script split in queue: wd_timing_scale_gpu (11 queued across 6 hosts), wd_curvature_trigger_gpu (8 queued across 3 hosts). NEW EXPERIMENT DESIGN + NOVELTY CHECK NOTES - New script added in Part 2: wd_batchnoise_interaction.py. - Mechanistic/interaction hypotheses used: 1) WD timing x label smoothing interaction (attenuation/amplification of late-WD ICP behavior). 2) Curvature-triggered WD mechanism test (trigger at curvature stabilization vs fixed late start). 3) WD timing x batch-noise interaction (small-batch noise expected to strengthen late-WD benefit). - Novelty-check web searches documented in run log included: - site:arxiv.org weight decay label smoothing interaction - site:arxiv.org adaptive weight decay deep neural networks - site:arxiv.org batch size weight decay generalization - arxiv 1711.05101 decoupled weight decay regularization - Outcome of novelty check: no direct prior match found for the exact three-way interaction framing used here (timing x label smoothing / timing x noise / curvature-trigger trigger rule), so deployment proceeded. KEY SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS 1. Latest validated batch quality remained high: 273/273 reviewed uploads parsed as structured experiment_result outputs, with stable runtime concentration near ~846s median. 2. Delay-driven ecology/control families dominated throughput in this validation window (toggle/cascade/tritrophic/lorenz96/metapop corridor lines), with no evidence of a broad broken experiment family requiring shutdown. 3. Part 2 now actively probes WD mechanism interactions (timing x label smoothing, timing x batch-noise, curvature-triggered onset), extending from established ICP observations toward causal and interaction-level tests.
