Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Assertions in silicon help post-silicon debug by providing observability of internal properties within a system which are otherwise hard to observe. Besides generating synthesizable assertions, they also need to be integrated in a design. In this paper we have shown how hardware assertions can be integrated in existing on-chip debug infrastructures, i.e., in a scan-based run-stop debug infrastructure and in a debug trace infrastructure. Experimental results on an industrial test SoC show that assertion based bus protocol checkers can be integrated with less than 1% additional area cost, including both the hardware assertions and the additional logic required to integrate the assertions in the SoC.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
