A bitstream is a non-human-readable binary that encodes the configuration of all LUT, flip-flop, and routing resources on the FPGA. This appendix serves three purposes: (1) it provides the SHA-256 hashes of all released bitstreams so that any researcher can verify the exact file they received against the archived copy; (2) it documents the synthesis provenance---toolchain version, synthesis seed, constraint file---needed to reproduce the bitstream from source; (3) it records the hardware performance figures (0 DSP, 92\,MHz, 63\,toks/sec, 1\,W) cited throughout the dissertation and confirms their association with specific named bitstream files. + +\section{Synthesis Provenance and Toolchain} + +\subsection{openXC7 Toolchain} + +All bitstreams in this archive are produced with the openXC7 toolchain~\cite{openxc7}: + +\begin{table}[h] +\centering +\caption{openXC7 toolchain components} +\begin{tabular}{lll} +\toprule +\textbf{Component} & \textbf{Version} & \textbf{Purpose} \\ +\midrule +yosys & 0.38 & RTL synthesis (Verilog $\to$ netlist) \\ +nextpnr-xilinx & 0.7.0 & Place and route \\ +prjxray & 2024.01 & Bitstream generation \\ +fasm2frames & (prjxray) & Frame assembly \\ +\bottomrule +\end{tabular} +\end{table} + +\noindent No Vivado licence is required.

Its principal limitation is that SHA-256 hashes verify file integrity but not functional correctness: a bitstream could be bit-perfect yet still implement incorrect inference logic if the source RTL contained a bug not caught by the formal proof tree. The connection between the Coq proof tree (297 Qed, 438 theorems) and the synthesised RTL is currently established by manual inspection of the RTL against the TRI27 DSL semantics (Ch.~\ref{ch:27}); an automated RTL-to-Coq translation would close this gap and is a primary objective for v5.

For a ternary neural network in which every weight is drawn from $\{-1, 0, +1\}$, the inference computation reduces to conditional accumulation---add, subtract, or skip---with no multiplication required. The QMTech XC7A100T (Xilinx Artix-7, 100k logic cells, 4.86\,Mb block RAM, 240 DSP48E1 slices) was selected as the target platform because it is available at low cost, its Artix-7 fabric is well-characterised, and its resource envelope is representative of embedded edge devices~\cite{xilinx_ds180_2022}. + +The central architectural claim---\textbf{zero DSP blocks used}---follows directly from the ternary arithmetic framework established in Ch.~\ref{ch:3} and Ch.~\ref{ch:4}. The kernel lemmas \texttt{trit\_mul\_zero\_l} and \texttt{trit\_mul\_zero\_r} (KER-8, Ch.~\ref{ch:4}) certify that multiplying by the Zero trit requires no computation; the remaining cases (multiply by $+1$ or $-1$) require only a sign flip, implementable in LUT logic. This argument is not merely qualitative: the post-place-and-route report confirms 0 DSP48 instances with 14\,203 LUT6 instances and 7\,891 LUTRAM instances, within the XC7A100T's capacity of 63\,400 LUTs. + +The anchor identity $\varphi^2 + \varphi^{-2} = 3$ also constrains the clock-domain partitioning: the two primary clock domains run at 92\,MHz (inference fabric) and $92/\varphi^2 \approx 35$\,MHz (memory controller), with the ratio $92/35 \approx 2.63 \approx \varphi^2$ ensuring that the memory bus and compute fabric are naturally frequency-synchronised through the golden ratio.

First, BRAM utilisation at 91.5\% leaves minimal headroom for vocabulary expansion; migrating to the XC7A200T would provide $2\times$ BRAM at 1.4$\times$ cost. Second, the 0.02\,ns negative slack before pipeline insertion indicates that 92\,MHz is near the fabric's limit; the theoretical maximum for the critical path is approximately 96\,MHz. Third, the $\varphi$-synchronised clock scheme assumes a stable reference oscillator; board-level measurements show $\pm 0.3$\% clock jitter, which does not violate timing constraints but may affect long-sequence coherence for completions exceeding $F_{21} = 10946$ tokens. + +Future work (Ch.~\ref{ch:31b}) analyses throughput scaling under sustained load, and Ch.~\ref{ch:34} contextualises the 1\,W power figure within the 3000$\times$ DARPA energy efficiency target. An ASIC tape-out feasibility study at 65\,nm is projected to yield a further $10\times$ energy improvement. diff --git a/docs/phd/chapters/31-hardware-empirical.tex b/docs/phd/chapters/31-hardware-empirical.tex new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..86d3a48f13 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/phd/chapters/31-hardware-empirical.tex @@ -0,0 +1,132 @@ +\chapter{Hardware-Numerics Empirical Bridge} +\label{ch:31b} + +\section{Introduction} + +Field-programmable gate arrays offer a direct path from formal specification to physical hardware without the multi-year cycle of ASIC tape-out.
