Abstract
The quality of a digital communication interface can be characterized by its bit error rate (BER) performance. To ensure the quality of the manufactured interface, it is critical to quickly and precisely test its BER behavior. Traditionally, BER is evaluated using software simulations, which are very time-consuming. Though there are some standalone BER test products, they are expensive and none of them includes channel emulators, which are essential to testing BER under the presence of noise. To overcome these problems, we present a versatile scheme for BER testing in FPGAs. This scheme consists of two intellectual property (IP) cores: the BER tester (BERT) core and the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) generator core. We demonstrate through case studies that the proposed solution exhibits advantages in speed and cost over existing solutions.

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
