Abstract
In this paper, two packing algorithms for the detection of activity profiles in MTCMOS-based FPGA structures are proposed for leakage power mitigation. The first algorithm is a connection-based packing technique by which the proximity of the logic blocks is accounted for, and the second algorithm is a logic-based packing approach by which the weighted Hamming distance between the block activities is considered. After both algorithms are analyzed, they are applied to a number of FGPA benchmarks for verification. Once the activity profiles are realized, sleep transistors are carefully positioned to contain the clustered blocks that share similar activity profiles. Finally, the percentage of the leakage power savings for each of the two algorithms is evaluated.

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
