Abstract
In its most general sense, intellectual property components (IPs) refer to any design artifacts that are reusable. While the specification of the functional IPs, such as behavioral and RTL specifications have been widely investigated, the specifications of others, such as timing, constraints, layouts and architectures are largely ad hoc. This leads to different standard or proprietary file/database formats with interoperatability problems, which eventually hinder the distribution and integration of IPs. In this paper, we address the difficult problem of integrating semantically diverse non-functional IPs by the use of a new, extensible language called Babel. Despite its simple 1-page grammar, Babel is frontend for a powerful IP-based design infrastructure. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by two case studies, one for the creation of parameterized memory IPs and one for the creation of processor IPs.

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
