Abstract
As integrated circuits become increasingly complex, the ability to make post-fabrication changes will become more important and attractive. This ability can be realized using programmable logic cores. Currently, such cores are available from vendors in the form of a "hard" layout. Previous work has suggested an alternative approach: vendors supply a synthesizable version of their programmable logic core and the integrated circuit designer synthesizes the programmable logic fabric using standard cells. This paper presents a new family of architectures for these synthesizable cores; unlike previous architectures which were based on lookup-tables, the new family of architectures is based on a collection of product-term arrays. Compared to lookup-table based architectures, the new architectures result in density improvements of 35% and speed improvements of 72% on standard benchmark circuits.

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
