Abstract
This paper presents a reference design and tutorial for an embedded PowerPC subsystem with user logic in a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The design and tutorial were created to help graduate students who are doing research in complex electronic applications and want to prototype their designs in an FPGA. Specifically, the design provides a starting point for any application that requires an embedded processor plus user logic that is external to the processor block, but must interface to it. This design project provides a practical introduction to System-on- Chip (SOC) design, embedded processor design, hardware-software co-design, and general FPGA development. The design database and tutorial document can be downloaded from a website at The University of British Columbia (UBC).

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
