Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Checking the power grid must begin early in the design. One way of doing this is using vectorless verification which, unlike standard simulation, only requires limited information about the currents drawn from the grid, in the form of DC local and global upper-bounds, or current constraints. We extend the standard vectorless verification to allow transient constraints, where circuit currents may be bounded by different values at different times. This is useful to check the validity of candidate sequences of chip operations, each having different current requirements. We show that this framework leads to a less pessimistic estimation of voltage drops.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
