Abstract
A second machine, columbia (192.168.8.224, Intel i3-N300, 8 threads, Copal on Alpine 3.24.3), played one job of the census machine's run with the run's own frozen binary, at the run's commit, and its log matched the census machine's line for line apart from the two timing figures. It can play censuses beside saskatchewan's.
I. Introduction
A. Intent
Bring a second machine into the census, after showing it plays the same matches.
B. The prompts
we got another online at 192.168.8.224. can we get it running census in along with the other already running. gather . whats its ip.
yes go ahead with the identity check.
II. Decision Log
| # | Cause | Decision | Not taken, and why |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | CENSUS.md 5, rule 1: a census is one machine's | Show identity before columbia's rows sit beside saskatchewan's | Start it on censuses at once: an unshown difference would be read as a weight's effect |
| D2 | What to compare | The run's own census-bin, copied by hash, and the run's commit for the maps | A binary built on columbia: two builds could differ, and the question is the CPU, not the build |
| D3 | Which reference | An existing job of the run (20261027-150756, g-2470000) | A new census on both: saskatchewan's reading already exists |
| D4 | What may differ | The per-tick microseconds and finished in, masked; everything else compared | Comparing scores only: a count off elsewhere would show a different match |
| D5 | The duplicate hostname | Renamed columbia before anything else (Copal's report) | Two saskatchewans on the LAN |
III. Methods
LR 105, B: the command line, the worktree, the masking sed, and cmp.
IV. Results
Identical with the timing masked (77 lines each); 22 raw lines differ, all timing. 41.17 s on columbia, 51.66 s on saskatchewan.
V. Discussion
columbia joins as a census machine. Its next work is a choice (LR 106): the run's three candidates need make families before Paul reads them, which needs no new code; the fleet worker (LR 104, E) would let it take trials from saskatchewan's queue.
