Abstract
Modern FPGA system integration tools, such as Qsys and Vivado, seek to help designers easily instantiate and connect IP cores. These tools require the cores to ascribe to a specific interconnect abstraction, which is either a high-level memory-mapped or low-level point-to-point streaming protocol. We present a system-level construction tool that gives the designer more control over the nature of the interconnect - specifically permitting multicast communication and the ability to easily construct custom network topologies. Our tool requires less user input than Qsys and yields a 5% area savings and 35% reduction in simulated execution time for a large and complex linear algebra application. The primary goal of this work is to make the designer's job easier by automating the design of interconnect, including exploration of alternative structures and communication patterns.

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
