    CUDA support is added to Boost int128 for host and device use. Device from_chars/to_chars are provided by Boost.Charconv, and Boost.Decimal will gain CUDA later. Verification is used by Boost.Safe_Numbers for safety and error check with CUDA reporting.

    Boost libraries were employed to provide permissive‑licensed, reliable networking and serialization for a C++11 reinforcement‑learning cognitive engine that autonomously optimizes ISS radio communications. Boost.Asio was used to handle concurrent UDP/Ethernet I/O, and Boost.Serialization was used to enable state persistence across orbital passes, facilitating successful on‑orbit testing.
