Abstract
FPGAs are becoming more powerful computing devices as a result of increased logic capacity, inclusion of embedded processors and I/O controllers, and the rise of high-level programming-language-to-hardware compilers. However, accelerating computing applications on FPGAs is still challenging, partly due to the need for low-level hardware design of a system-level interconnect to integrate the application components. The authors propose augmenting the FPGA architecture with an embedded NoC to implement the system-level communication infrastructure and mitigate the hardware design challenges faced by current bus-based interconnects. With a flexible interface between the NoC and the FPGA fabric, an embedded NoC maintains the configurability of the FPGA, and simplifies distribution of I/O data throughout the chip. Embedded NoCs are always more energy-efficient compared with custom buses configured into the fabric by commercial system integration tools, and they save area for most systems as well.

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
