Isthmus submits CCS proposal to do computational work for OSPEAD parameterization

Dr. Mitchell Krawiec-Thayer (Isthmus¹) has submitted a CCS proposal² looking to do computational work for OSPEAD³ parameterization:

To achieve the best fit for OSPEAD parametrization, the analysis code developed by Rucknium needs to be computed over a much larger portion of recent Monero transactions. [..] This proposal is designed to solve the challenge posed by the computational barriers [..] The overall project to speed up OSPEAD computation will take 5+ full time engineering weeks [..]

Total funding: 190 XMR (upfront).

ETA: 5.5 weeks (March 30 2023).

Milestones overview

• M1: Begin development (190 XMR)
• M2: Deliver code, results, and documentation to Rucknium (0 XMR)
