The formula has an additional rounding operation that makes the result deviate from the original paper formula.

As highlighted in my blogpost [1], the formula used to computer the number of configurations for the successive halving step in hyperband deviates from the paper. In fact, there is an additional rounding operation on the s_max / (s+1) factor. Everything is explained in the blog post.
I also do not know why you are using an int() operator to round the value of n0 because it is originally a ceil operation. I suppose that this is why you need an additional max() in the computation of ns. The code is a bit intricated to me so I guess you can better tell than me. Do not hesitate to tell me if I can be of help or I am wrong.
