Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In our work with developing an OpenCL platform for FPGAs, we observed that the way that OpenCL is currently used on FPGAs does not expose the full capability of FPGAs to the programmer. In particular, FPGAs are spatial devices that can be partitioned by area with each partition programmed with a different function. The latest FPGAs can even be reconfigured dynamically such that one partition of the FPGA can be configured while the rest of the FPGA is still in use. The analogy with GPUs is that an OpenCL programmer can partition a GPU into multiple device objects, execute different kernels on each device object, and reprogram the device objects. An OpenCL programmer cannot do this with an FPGA even though the capability exists. As FPGA capacities continue to increase, the ability to partition and partially reconfigure the FPGA will become even more desirable. The fundamental issue is how FPGAs are currently viewed as devices in the OpenCL model. In this paper, we propose a small change to the OpenCL definition of a device that unlocks the full potential of FPGAs to the programmer.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
