Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper we observe that the necessary amount of compressed test data transferred from the tester to the embedded cores in a system-on-a-chip (SOC) varies significantly during the testing process. This motivates a novel approach to compressed system-on-a-chip testing based on time-multiplexing the tester channels. It is shown how the introduction of a few control channels will enable the sharing of data channels, on which compressed seeds are passed to every embedded core. Through the use of modular and scalable hardware for on-chip test control and test data decompression, we define a new algorithmic framework for test data compression that is applicable to system-on-a-chip devices comprising intellectual property-protected blocks.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
