Abstract
The complexity of multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSOC) design has made design, simulation and verification/validation a significant challenge for SOC designers. To produce a complex MPSOC system in a short design cycle, system simulation and validation must be done in an affordable time. Solutions to this challenge include moving simulation to a higher abstraction level such as in SystemC, and validating the system through FPGA prototyping. This paper presents a MPSOC system which consists of 4 Xilinx microblaze processors interconnected with FSL (fast simplex link) channels. This system has two equivalent "views": one is a high-level SystemC framework for modeling and simulation, and the other is a hardware framework for FPGA implementation and prototyping. This system is supplied to the member universities of the Canadian System-on-Chip Research Network (SOCRN), managed by CMC Microsystems, as an MPSOC design, simulation and validation environment.

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
