Abstract
As technology sizes decrease and die area increases, designers are creating increasingly complex computing systems using FPGAs. To reduce design time for new products, the reuse of previously designed intellectual property (IP) cores is essential. However, since no universally accepted interface standards exist for IP cores, there is often a certain amount of redesign necessary before they are incorporated into the new system. Furthermore, the core's functionality may need updating to support the requirements of the new application. This paper demonstrates how the SIMPPL system model allows designers to rapidly implement on-chip systems comprising multiple computing elements (CEs). Furthermore, using a controller-based interface to manage inter-CE transfers enables users to easily adapt the control sequence of individual CEs to suit the needs of new applications without necessitating the redesign of other elements in the system. Two systems using three different hardware modules adapted to CEs are described to illustrate the power and simplicity of the SIMPPL model. It required a total of six hours to implement both designs on-chip once the individual CEs had been designed.

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
