Abstract
Distributed real-time applications implement distributed applications with timeliness requirements. Such systems require a deterministic communication medium with bounded communication delays. Ethernet is a widely used commodity network with a large number of appliances and network components and represents a natural fit for real-time application; unfortunately, standard Ethernet provides no bounded communication delays. Network Code Processor is a soft processor implementation for real-time communication on Ethernet. The system provides a smart network-card functionality and can be seen as a co-processor for time-triggered communication. Its most distinguishing feature, the programmability of the processor via the Network Code language, allows developers to write adaptive but verifiable communication schedules tailored to the application needs. In this work we present results around the development of the soft processor, discuss the specific challenges of how to build a reliable and fast communication system, the tradeoffs involved when moving from a generic software prototype to a programmable hardware implementation.

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
