-## Current Integration Notes
+## Deployment
 
-- `EnsembleDetector` exists but is not wired in `load_drift_detector(...)`.
-- `ModelPerformanceDetector` and `EvalDetector` need additional runtime wiring for full monitor integration.
+Platform-specific deployment guides:
+
+- [NERSC Perlmutter](./src/deployment/perlmutter/README.md)
+
+## What `main.py` Does
+- Builds the `DummyCNN_MNIST` model defined in `src/model/DummyCNN_MNIST.py`, a cross-entropy loss, and an Adam optimizer.
+- Loads the MNIST training split, stacks the tensors, and iterates over 10 tasks (digits 0–9). Each task applies random rotation and translation to encourage continual adaptation.
+- Maintains replay buffers (`memory_image`, `memory_label`, etc.) so past samples remain available for rehearsal while training new tasks.
+- Calls `CL(...)` to assemble task-specific dataloaders and drive the `One_task_CL` loop. The loop trains for five epochs, records loss/accuracy metrics, and prints periodic progress reports.
+- Computes sensitivity scores with `src/validation/validation_utils/return_score` after each task; you can repurpose these values for analysis or adaptive triggers.
+
+## Tuning Tips
+- Change the number of epochs by editing `n_epoch` inside `CL`.
+- Adjust replay/adversarial update counts through the `params` dictionaries in `One_task_CL` and `util.update_CL_`.
+- Experiment with different transforms or task definitions by modifying `data.py`.
+- Update batch sizes by changing the `batch_size` parameter used when constructing the dataloaders.
+
+## Output
+Training logs report the task id, training/test accuracy, and replay-memory accuracy every five epochs. Accuracy is computed via `test(...)` on both the current task and the accumulated memory set.

+# Deployment
+
+## NERSC Perlmutter
+
+### Setup
+
+Clone the repo into your scratch directory and run the install script:
+
+```bash
+cd $SCRATCH
+git clone https://github.com/AI-ModCon/BaseSim_Framework.git
+cd BaseSim_Framework
+source ./src/deployment/perlmutter/install_venv.sh
+```
+
+`install_venv.sh` creates a virtual environment, installs Poetry, and uses it to resolve and install project dependencies. The environment is saved to `.venv` in the project root. The script runs the following:
+
+```bash
+module load python/3.13-26.1.0
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install poetry
+poetry lock
+poetry install --no-cache
+```
+
+> **Note:** The MNIST example requires to the dataset, which is downloaded on first run. Download it before submitting a batch job:
+>
+> ```bash
+> poetry run python -c "from examples.mnist.utils import get_mnist_data; get_mnist_data()"
+> ```
+
+### Submitting a Job
+
+The virtual environment can be sourced directly at the top of your SLURM script (`source .venv/bin/activate`), so Poetry is not needed at runtime — jobs run against the installed environment.
+
+From the project root:
+
+```bash
+sbatch -A amsc002 src/deployment/perlmutter/mnist_example.sbatch
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- **`poetry install` fails to connect to PyPI** — Run `poetry lock` first, then retry. The lock file caches package download specs and may be stale on a new host.
+- **`poetry install` fails with disk quota errors** — Poetry's default cache is in the home directory, which has limited space. Retry with `poetry install --no-cache` or free up space in `$HOME`.
