Abstract
A popular network topology for network-on-chip (NoC) implementations is the two-dimensional mesh. A disadvantage of the mesh topology is in its large communication radius. By partitioning a two-dimensional mesh into several sub-meshes and connecting them using a global interconnect, we can reduce the average number of hops for global traffic. This paper presents a hybrid architecture that partitions a large 2D-mesh into several smaller sub-meshes which are globally connected using a hierarchical ring interconnect. Hierarchical rings have been selected for study because of their simplicity, speed and efficiency in embedding onto a circuit layout, as well as for their suitability for efficient cache coherent protocols. An original SystemC modeling platform was implemented in order to compare the traditional 2D-mesh with the hybrid ring architectures and the simulation results will show that our hybrid architecture does indeed have a positive effect on the average hop count

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
