Abstract
Thermal effects are becoming increasingly important during integrated circuit design. Thermal characteristics influence reliability, power consumption, cooling costs, and performance. It is necessary to consider thermal effects during all levels of the design process, from the architectural level to the physical level. However, design-time temperature prediction requires access to block placement, wire models, power profile, and a chip-package thermal model. Thermal-aware design and synthesis necessarily couple architectural-level design decisions (e.g., scheduling) with physical design (e.g., floorplanning) and modeling (e.g., wire and thermal modeling).This article proposes an efficient and accurate thermal-aware floorplanning high-level synthesis system that makes use of integrated high-level and physical-level thermal optimization techniques. Voltage islands are automatically generated via novel slack distribution and voltage partitioning algorithms in order to reduce the design's power consumption and peak temperature. A new thermal-aware floorplanning technique is proposed to balance chip thermal profile, thereby further reducing peak temperature. The proposed system was used to synthesize a number of benchmarks, yielding numerous designs that trade off peak temperature, integrated circuit area, and power consumption. The proposed techniques reduces peak temperature by 12.5°C on average. When used to minimize peak temperature with a fixed area, peak temperature reductions are common. Under a constraint on peak temperature, integrated circuit area is reduced by 9.9% on average.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
