Abstract
This paper presents an asynchronous scheduling algorithm for high-throughput stochastic low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoders. Stochastic computation provides ultra-low-complexity hardware and can be implemented using binary or multiple-valued logic gates. Using asynchronous control, it also eliminates a global clock signal and therefore eases the worst-case timing restrictions. A timing model of asynchronous-computation behaviours under a 90nm CMOS technology is used to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm with an optimized computation delay properly decodes a regular (1024, 512) LDPC code without the "lock-up" problem that potentially stops decoding before convergence and hence causes loss in coding gain. Based on our models, the proposed scheme achieves up to 7.37x improvement in decoding throughput with comparable BER performance in comparison with performance results of a conventional synchronous stochastic decoder.

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
