Abstract
The High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) is a cornerstone of the modern communications. To achieve high data rates, sophisticated techniques such as equalization and pre-compensation have now become common in HSSIs. With the concurrent increasing of design complexity and decreasing of the timing budget, the post-silicon validation, debugging and testing of HSSIs are becoming critical. This paper presents a versatile scheme to accelerate the post-silicon validation. Using a novel jitter injection scheme and an FPGA-based Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), we can validate and test HSSIs without the need of high-speed Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) instruments and Design-for-Test (DFT) features; this scheme also overcomes existing ATE instrument limitations. We can also utilize ATE to provide a more versatile scheme for HSSI validation, debugging and testing.

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
