- Worth noticing
- G1c records 17 frames; its GPU and CPU comparison runs produce different formaldehyde and methoxy counts.
Field notes
The visible run table compares GPU/browser run G1c with CPU/float64 run G1b: formaldehyde counts are 3 versus 4, methoxy 4 versus 3, and methane 1 on both. The page reports energy-ledger errors of 0.11% and 0.001%, respectively, and includes comparisons against a quantum reference for energy and forces. Its pre-registered no-light control is still pending, leaving that comparison incomplete.
