Abstract
This paper describes an on-going work aiming at using FPGAs as a fast prototyping environment for Token-based Self-timed processors, inspired by the Octasic asynchronous design technique. Originally developed for Digital Signal Processing, this design technique is adapted here for an FPGA-based general purpose processor. The paper emphasizes improvements to existing FPGA implementation methodologies that address the incompatibilities between self-timed timing schemes and synchronous oriented place and route engines. It also presents a prototyping platform based on a Xilinx ZC706 board that enables functional verification, as well as runtime performance and power consumption measurements, of the reported Token-based Self-timed processor.

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
