Threads 18099 and 18108 documented, with measurements, that computation can run outside flopscope’s accounting and be billed only through residual wall-clock, at a rate below real hardware throughput. Some current submissions have an instrumented share below 0.1%.
So 2 questions before Phase 1 closes:
- Are entries whose compute is predominantly unmetered eligible for prizes?
- Will the private re-evaluation check or enforce the instrumented share, or is optimizing against the residual price considered a legitimate strategy? Thank you!
