Datacenter Thermal Digital Twin, 5 Racks (dim=10)

ADVANTAGES1 · dim 10

SolvSRK wins. At the comparison noise level, SolvSRK beats the best baseline by at least 10 percentage points of survival, or by at least 0.05 balanced score when survival is tied. Use SolvSRK for this class of problem. All verdicts →

At Clean, best balanced arm is SolvSRK.

Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
