Abstract
This paper presents the architecture and implementation of a configurable router intended for embedded network-on-chip support within field-programmable gate arrays. The router supports five network topologies and utilizes a dual-crossbar arrangement to reduce resource utilization. The router has been implemented in an Altera Stratix chip and in a 0.18-mum standard-cell process. For the routing and switching logic, the dual-crossbar arrangement is more area-efficient than a full crossbar, averaging a reduction of 24% in FPGA logic and 22% in gates for custom implementation. The average operating frequency of the dual-crossbar design is 123 MHz in FPGA logic and 340 MHz for custom implementation. Custom NoC support in an FPGA would therefore have adequate performance relative to components implemented in fully-programmable logic.

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
