# GmNet Journal Experiments

This directory is isolated from the historical GmNet code under
**/nfs/ywang29/GmNet/Effnet-main3**, **release**, and **py-cifar**.

## Storage contract

- Persistent code/configs/results: **/nfs/ywang29/GmNet**.
- Dataset source: **s3://snap-research-cv-code/ywang29/datasets/**.
- Launch-job source: **s3://snap-research-cv-code/ywang29/datasets/**.
- Local data/cache/logs: **/tmp/gmnet_***.
- ETA over 12 hours: launch YAML in **/nfs/ywang29/GmNet/depoly/**.

## Local preparation

    cd /nfs/ywang29/GmNet/journal_exp
    bash scripts/setup_env.sh
    bash scripts/run_local_smoke.sh

The smoke script downloads/stages CIFAR-10 from the required S3 prefix into
**/tmp/gmnet_data**, runs a single-GPU model/training check, and then runs an
8-GPU NCCL/DDP check.

## Staged ImageNet-v2 run

Long runs first stage the canonical ImageNet archive to node-local scratch and
then train exclusively from `/tmp/gmnet_data/imagenet-1k`:

    cd /nfs/ywang29/GmNet/journal_exp
    KEEP_ARCHIVE=0 bash scripts/stage_imagenet.sh full
    RUN_NAME=imv2_e0_s3_relu6_seed0 \
    CONFIG_PATH=configs/e0_baseline/imagenet_gmnet_s3.yaml \
    DATA_ROOT=/tmp/gmnet_data/imagenet-1k \
    OUTPUT_DIR=/nfs/ywang29/GmNet/runs/imagenet_v2/imv2_e0_s3_relu6_seed0 \
    SEED=0 NPROC_PER_NODE=8 \
    CODE_MANIFEST_PATH=configs/imagenet_v2_code_manifest.json \
    bash scripts/init_run.sh

**scripts/init_run.sh** carries the export block requested from
**/nfs/ywang29/LongLive/scripts/init_run.sh** unchanged.
It checks the frozen code/config manifest before training and again before
official evaluation; the resulting code SHA-256 is part of the checkpoint's
resolved-config fingerprint. ImageNet data is independently checked against
the canonical index and sampled-content manifest. Generated launch YAMLs run
the staging command automatically in `pre_run_event` after environment setup.

This is the only task initially marked `submission_allowed: true`. The revised
21-task protocol prepares held and conditional YAMLs as well; their existence
does not authorize submission. See
[docs/IMAGENET_V2_PROTOCOL.md](docs/IMAGENET_V2_PROTOCOL.md).

See [docs/EXPERIMENT_TASKS.md](docs/EXPERIMENT_TASKS.md) for the task split,
ETA class, dependencies, and launch policy.

The exact environment/run commands and completed validation evidence are in
[docs/LOCAL_ENV_AND_LAUNCH.md](docs/LOCAL_ENV_AND_LAUNCH.md) and
[docs/PREPARATION_STATUS.md](docs/PREPARATION_STATUS.md).

Completed local results and their claim boundaries are consolidated in
[docs/LOCAL_EXPERIMENT_CONCLUSIONS.md](docs/LOCAL_EXPERIMENT_CONCLUSIONS.md).
Persistent, data-free result tables are archived under
`/nfs/ywang29/GmNet/local_results/20260712/` and the revised local pre-gate is
under `/nfs/ywang29/GmNet/local_results/imagenet_v2_pregate/`.
