Abstract
Over the past few years, the realm of portable and embedded computing has expanded to include a wide variety of applications on handheld devices. However, these devices have stringent area and power requirements. Coupled with increasing pressure to decrease cost and shorten time to market, the design constraints of these devices pose a serious challenge to the designers. We are investigating the utilization of FPGA-based hardware for compute intensive applications in portable and embedded computing. In this work, we introduce an FPGA-based hardware solution for Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a classic technique to reduce the dimensionality of data by transforming the original data set to a new set of variables called principal components representing the key features of the data. Experiments are performed using a benchmark dataset on handwriting analysis, in order to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of our embedded hardware solution.

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
