Abstract
One of the key challenges for the FPGA industry going forward is to make the task of designing hardware easier. A significant portion of that design task is the creation of the interconnect pathways between functional structures. We present a synthesis tool that automates this process and focuses on the interconnect needs in the fine-grained (sub-IP-block) design space. Here there are several issues that prior research and tools do not address well: the need to have fixed, deterministic latency between communicating units (to enable high-performance local communication without the area overheads of latency insensitivity), and the ability to avoid generating unnecessary arbitration hardware when the application design can avoid it. Using a design example, our tool generates interconnect that requires 69% fewer lines of specification code than a handwritten Verilog implementation, which is a 32% overall reduction for the entire application. The resulting system, while requiring 6% more total functional and interconnect area, achieves the same performance. We also show a quantitative and qualitative advantages against an existing commercial interconnect synthesis tool, over which we achieve a 25% performance advantage and 15%/57% logic/memory area savings.

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
