Pick the most REPRESENTATIVE mapping — arithmetic a real designer of THIS workload would actually
map to 'comb_mult_add_16_mode', never fabricated computation. For a sum-of-products / MAC mode you must
find product terms that ALREADY feed a COMMON reduction (a shared sum/accumulator); products that
feed SEPARATE outputs (e.g. distinct systolic-array elements) must NOT be fused. An isolated scalar
multiply is NOT a representative sum-of-products target. If nothing representative exists, outputTIER: NONE.

Classify the tier of the change you propose (a datatype/algorithm variant, T3, is out of scope —
do not propose one):
- T1: Direct replacement: no change to the computed function or surrounding structure; no datatype change.
- T2: Local restructuring only; preserve the region's function, role, and live consumers; no new operation/datatype family.

I'll start by reading the source file to understand the arithmetic regions.
I've read the two candidate sites. Here is my analysis and plan.
What I found
matmult(lines 335–350):am11 <= Ax*m11… thenCx <= am11[30:15] + am12[30:15] + am13[30:15]. This looks like the canonical dot product, but (a) the design adds truncated products ([30:15]), sosum-then-truncate≠truncate-then-sum— fusing would change the computed function, and (b)Ax/m11are plain 16‑bit unsigned regs, exactly as wide as the signedax/ayports, which the block explicitly cannot represent. Rejected.bilinearintrp(lines 2874–2886):i1r <= ul*rul; i2r <= vl*rvl; i3r <= wl*rwl;thenassign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r). Three products feeding one shared reduction per colour channel, at full product precision (8×7 → 15 bits, no truncation before the add), operands unsigned and strictly narrower than the ports. Exact and representative.
TIER: T2
REGIONS: bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2874$348, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2875$349, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2876$350, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2877$351, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2878$352, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2879$353, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2880$354, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2881$355, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2882$356
SHARED_REDUCTION: three independent per-channel barycentric reductions in bilinearintrp — assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r) (line 2884), assign g = (i1g+i2g+i3g) (2885), assign b = (i1b+i2b+i3b) (2886). Products are fused only within a channel; no fusion across r/g/b, since those drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Three chains of 3 comb_mult_add_16 each (9 total), one chain per channel. All operands are unsigned, so zero-extend to the signed port width.
R-chain: S0: ax={8'b0,ul}, ay={9'b0,rul}, bx=32'b0 → s0r = result[31:0]
S1: ax={8'b0,vl}, ay={9'b0,rvl}, bx=s0r → s1r = result[31:0]
S2: ax={8'b0,wl}, ay={9'b0,rwl}, bx=s1r → s2r = result[31:0]
G-chain: identical with ul/gul, vl/gvl, wl/gwl → s2g.
B-chain: identical with ul/bul, vl/bvl, wl/bwl → s2b.
Every operand of each fused region is driven onto a port; only the first stage's bx is tied to 0 (no free term exists there). result[63:32] is unused (provably zero: max value 3·255·127 = 97 155).
PLAN:
- Module port list, widths, and instantiation at line 2012 (
bilinearimp→blr/blg/blb) are untouched, so the downstream consumers (linearmapat 2011 and thetemp_shadedata{a,b,c}packers at 2265/2423/2482) are unaffected. - Inside the
always @(posedge clk)block (2860–2883), the operand registersul, vl, wl, rul, rvl, rwl, gul, gvl, gwl, bul, bvl, bwlandwl <= 255-u-vstay exactly as-is. The nine product registersi1r…i3bare replaced by three accumulator registersir, ig, ib(keep 15 bits, matching the original 15-bit expression width):ir <= s2r[14:0];etc. The three combinationalassigns becomeassign r = ir[6:0];(and g, b). - Latency and values are bit-exact. Originally the products are formed from the previously registered
ul/rul(non-blocking), latched intoi1r…, and summed combinationally the next cycle. In the new form the same previously-registered operands feed the MAC chain and the sum is latched — same two register stages fromu/rutor, same cycle-by-cycle value. The original 15-bit wraparound ofi1r+i2r+i3rand the final 7-bit truncation at theassignare irrelevant to the result because truncation of the low 7 bits is invariant to any wider carry-out; computing the sum at 32/64-bit precision and taking the low bits yields identicalr/g/b. - Introduced operations/datatypes: NONE. No new operator family, no signedness change in the RTL (zero-extension is the mandated widening for unsigned operands), no width change on any live signal. The nine
*and six+operators are absorbed into the primitive; the only structural edit is moving the reduction to the front of the existing pipeline register, which is the local restructuring that makes this T2 rather than T1. - Risks: (a) combinational depth grows — one stage now contains a multiply plus a 3-deep MAC chain instead of multiply | adder, so this stage becomes the critical path of
bilinearintrp; mitigated by the fact that the chainedbxadds are 17-bit-effective. (b) A synthesizer that does not constant-fold the tiedbx=0on stage S0 leaves one block doing a bare multiply — acceptable, it is still a genuine chain member. (c) Sign convention: the block is signed, the design unsigned; correctness relies on zero-extension of the 8-bit and 7-bit operands (max product 32 385 < 2^15), so no operand ever appears negative — must be verified if anyone later widensru…bwto 16 bits. (d) Register-count change (nine 15-bit regs → three 15-bit regs) will show up in area/QoR reports; it is a consequence of the fusion, not a functional change.

You are an INDEPENDENT, fair Reviewer. You did not write this plan. Judge it on merit.
Target mode: comb_mult_add_16_mode Tier: T2 Rule: Local restructuring only; preserve the region's function, role, and live consumers; no new operation/datatype family.
Region: bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2874$348 (op 'multiply', datatype int8, consumers ['bilinearintrp']).
APPROVE the plan if it is correct and representative — a legitimate adaptation does not need to
be perfect, only sound. Do NOT demand rewrites for style, minor wording, or hypothetical concerns.
REVISE ONLY for a CONCRETE, specific violation you can name: (a) it changes the computed function
when the tier forbids it; (b) it introduces an operation/datatype absent from the design and not
admitted by the tier; (c) it fabricates terms to match a mode's n_terms (products that did not
exist / do not share a reduction); (d) it wires the mode to constants or a dead sink (mode island).
If none of these apply, APPROVE.
Your FIRST line must be exactly 'APPROVE' or 'REVISE', nothing else. If REVISE, the next lines
must name the specific violation (a/b/c/d) and what to change.

I'll start by reading the source file to understand the arithmetic regions.
I've read the two candidate sites. Here is my analysis and plan.

Rejected.bilinearintrp(lines 2874–2886):i1r <= ul*rul; i2r <= vl*rvl; i3r <= wl*rwl;thenassign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r). Three products feeding one shared reduction per colour channel, at full product precision (8×7 → 15 bits, no truncation before the add), operands unsigned and strictly narrower than the ports. Exact and representative.
TIER: T2
REGIONS: bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2874$348, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2875$349, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2876$350, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2877$351, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2878$352, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2879$353, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2880$354, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2881$355, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2882$356
SHARED_REDUCTION: three independent per-channel barycentric reductions in bilinearintrp — assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r) (line 2884), assign g = (i1g+i2g+i3g) (2885), assign b = (i1b+i2b+i3b) (2886). Products are fused only within a channel; no fusion across r/g/b, since those drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Three chains of 3 comb_mult_add_16 each (9 total), one chain per channel. All operands are unsigned, so zero-extend to the signed port width.
R-chain: S0: ax={8'b0,ul}, ay={9'b0,rul}, bx=32'b0 → s0r = result[31:0]
S1: ax={8'b0,vl}, ay={9'b0,rvl}, bx=s0r → s1r = result[31:0]
S2: ax={8'b0,wl}, ay={9'b0,rwl}, bx=s1r → s2r = result[31:0]
G-chain: identical with ul/gul, vl/gvl, wl/gwl → s2g.
B-chain: identical with ul/bul, vl/bvl, wl/bwl → s2b.
Every operand of each fused region is driven onto a port; only the first stage's bx is tied to 0 (no free term exists there). result[63:32] is unused (provably zero: max value 3·255·127 = 97 155).
PLAN:
- Module port list, widths, and instantiation at line 2012 (
bilinearimp→blr/blg/blb) are untouched, so the downstream consumers (linearmapat 2011 and thetemp_shadedata{a,b,c}packers at 2265/2423/2482) are unaffected. - Inside the
always @(posedge clk)block (2860–2883), the operand registersul, vl, wl, rul, rvl, rwl, gul, gvl, gwl, bul, bvl, bwlandwl <= 255-u-vstay exactly as-is. The nine product registersi1r…i3bare replaced by three accumulator registersir, ig, ib(keep 15 bits, matching the original 15-bit expression width):ir <= s2r[14:0];etc. The three combinationalassigns becomeassign r = ir[6:0];(and g, b). - Latency and values are bit-exact. Originally the products are formed from the previously registered
ul/rul(non-blocking), latched intoi1r…, and summed combinationally the next cycle. In the new form the same previously-registered operands feed the MAC chain and the sum is latched — same two register stages fromu/rutor, same cycle-by-cycle value. The original 15-bit wraparound ofi1r+i2r+i3rand the final 7-bit truncation at theassignare irrelevant to the result because truncation of the low 7 bits is invariant to any wider carry-out; computing the sum at 32/64-bit precision and taking the low bits yields identicalr/g/b. - Introduced operations/datatypes: NONE. No new operator family, no signedness change in the RTL (zero-extension is the mandated widening for unsigned operands), no width change on any live signal. The nine
*and six+operators are absorbed into the primitive; the only structural edit is moving the reduction to the front of the existing pipeline register, which is the local restructuring that makes this T2 rather than T1. - Risks: (a) combinational depth grows — one stage now contains a multiply plus a 3-deep MAC chain instead of multiply | adder, so this stage becomes the critical path of
bilinearintrp; mitigated by the fact that the chainedbxadds are 17-bit-effective. (b) A synthesizer that does not constant-fold the tiedbx=0on stage S0 leaves one block doing a bare multiply — acceptable, it is still a genuine chain member. (c) Sign convention: the block is signed, the design unsigned; correctness relies on zero-extension of the 8-bit and 7-bit operands (max product 32 385 < 2^15), so no operand ever appears negative — must be verified if anyone later widensru…bwto 16 bits. (d) Register-count change (nine 15-bit regs → three 15-bit regs) will show up in area/QoR reports; it is a consequence of the fusion, not a functional change.

I'll verify the plan against the actual source before judging.
APPROVE
Verification performed against raygentop.v:
Region identity & terms (c) — Lines 2874–2882 are exactly the nine multiplies i1r..i3b (ul*rul, vl*rvl, wl*rwl, and the g/b equivalents). Lines 2884–2886 are three genuine shared reductions, assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r) etc. Nine products, three reductions of three terms each — nothing fabricated, and the plan correctly refuses to fuse across r/g/b since those are separate module outputs.
Function preservation (a) — Confirmed bit-exact:
- Declarations:
ul/vl/wlarereg[7:0],rul..bwlarereg[6:0],i1r..i3barereg[14:0]. Since the product assignment target is 15 bits and max product is 255·127 = 32385 < 2^15, the original products are untruncated — so the sum-then-truncate equivalence holds (unlikematmult, whose[30:15]slices truncate before the add; the plan's rejection of that site is correct). - Latency: original
i1r <= ul*rulreads the previously-registeredul/ruland the sum is combinational; the new form feeds the same previously-registered operands into the MAC chain and registers the sum. Same two register stages fromu/rutor, same per-cycle value. - Truncation: original sum is evaluated at 15 bits and implicitly truncated to the
[6:0]output; computing at 32/64 bits and taking[6:0]is identical, since low-bit truncation is invariant to wider carry-out.
New op/datatype (b) — None. Nine * and six + absorbed into the primitive; operands are all unsigned and strictly narrower than the signed 16-bit ports ({8'b0,ul}, {9'b0,rul}), so zero-extension is a faithful widening, never negative. No width change on any live signal.
Mode island / dead sink (d) — Not applicable. Only stage S0's bx is tied to zero (the unavoidable accumulator seed); ax/ay of every block are driven by live registers, and the chain output drives r/g/b → blr/blg/blb, which I confirmed are live at linearmap (line 2011, blb/blg) and the temp_shadedata{a,b,c} packers (2265–2267, 2423–2425, 2482–2484). Module port list and the instantiation at line 2012 are untouched, so consumers are preserved.
The noted side effects (deeper combinational stage, 9→3 register reduction) are QoR consequences of a legitimate T2 restructuring, not functional changes.

Edit raygentop.v in this directory. Local restructuring: re-express the region (e.g. a multiply array + adder tree as a fused sum-of-products) to reach the mode; preserve the region's function and role, keep the rest of the design unchanged, wire the mode's real consumers.
Goal: rewrite the RTL so the hard-block mode 'comb_mult_add_16_mode' is exercised in the packed netlist,
doing real work, while preserving the design's behaviour and role.
Tier: T2
Hard-block primitive to instantiate: comb_mult_add_16 (precision INT16)
computes: out = ax*ay + bx
input ports: ax[16], ay[16], bx[32]
output ports: result[64]
arithmetic: the block's operands and result are signed two's complement. A design operand narrower than its port must be widened to the port width: zero-extended if the design treats it as unsigned, sign-extended if signed. An unsigned design operand as wide as its port has no exact representation on this block.
timing: the block is combinational; result is valid in the same cycle the inputs are applied (no clock port).
Wire EVERY operand of the fused region onto the input ports (name them exactly as above); drive the region's real consumer from the output port. Tie unused term ports to 0. Do not leave input ports unconnected.
This is a MULTI-REGION fusion: aggregate these 1 product regions — bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2874$348, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2875$349, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2876$350, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2877$351, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2878$352, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2879$353, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2880$354, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2881$355, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2882$356 — which already feed the common reduction 'three independent per-channel barycentric reductions in bilinearintrp — assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r) (line 2884), assign g = (i1g+i2g+i3g) (2885), assign b = (i1b+i2b+i3b) (2886). Products are fused only within a channel; no fusion across r/g/b, since those drive separate module outputs.', into one 1-term 'comb_mult_add_16_mode' instance. Fuse only these existing terms; do not invent new ones.
Rules: edit Verilog source only; preserve the module's live inputs/outputs and its downstream
consumers; do not introduce operations or datatypes absent from the design unless this tier
admits a variant; keep the surrounding design unchanged for T1/T2. Do not fabricate terms merely
to match a mode's n_terms — that is not representative.

REGIONS: bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2874$348, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2875$349, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2876$350, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2877$351, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2878$352, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2879$353, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2880$354, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2881$355, bilinearintrp.$mul$raygentop.v:2882$356
SHARED_REDUCTION: three independent per-channel barycentric reductions in bilinearintrp — assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r) (line 2884), assign g = (i1g+i2g+i3g) (2885), assign b = (i1b+i2b+i3b) (2886). Products are fused only within a channel; no fusion across r/g/b, since those drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Three chains of 3 comb_mult_add_16 each (9 total), one chain per channel. All operands are unsigned, so zero-extend to the signed port width.
R-chain: S0: ax={8'b0,ul}, ay={9'b0,rul}, bx=32'b0 → s0r = result[31:0]
S1: ax={8'b0,vl}, ay={9'b0,rvl}, bx=s0r → s1r = result[31:0]
S2: ax={8'b0,wl}, ay={9'b0,rwl}, bx=s1r → s2r = result[31:0]
G-chain: identical with ul/gul, vl/gvl, wl/gwl → s2g.
B-chain: identical with ul/bul, vl/bvl, wl/bwl → s2b.
Every operand of each fused region is driven onto a port; only the first stage's bx is tied to 0 (no free term exists there). result[63:32] is unused (provably zero: max value 3·255·127 = 97 155).
PLAN:
- Module port list, widths, and instantiation at line 2012 (
bilinearimp→blr/blg/blb) are untouched, so the downstream consumers (linearmapat 2011 and thetemp_shadedata{a,b,c}packers at 2265/2423/2482) are unaffected. - Inside the
always @(posedge clk)block (2860–2883), the operand registersul, vl, wl, rul, rvl, rwl, gul, gvl, gwl, bul, bvl, bwlandwl <= 255-u-vstay exactly as-is. The nine product registersi1r…i3bare replaced by three accumulator registersir, ig, ib(keep 15 bits, matching the original 15-bit expression width):ir <= s2r[14:0];etc. The three combinationalassigns becomeassign r = ir[6:0];(and g, b). - Latency and values are bit-exact. Originally the products are formed from the previously registered
ul/rul(non-blocking), latched intoi1r…, and summed combinationally the next cycle. In the new form the same previously-registered operands feed the MAC chain and the sum is latched — same two register stages fromu/rutor, same cycle-by-cycle value. The original 15-bit wraparound ofi1r+i2r+i3rand the final 7-bit truncation at theassignare irrelevant to the result because truncation of the low 7 bits is invariant to any wider carry-out; computing the sum at 32/64-bit precision and taking the low bits yields identicalr/g/b. - Introduced operations/datatypes: NONE. No new operator family, no signedness change in the RTL (zero-extension is the mandated widening for unsigned operands), no width change on any live signal. The nine
*and six+operators are absorbed into the primitive; the only structural edit is moving the reduction to the front of the existing pipeline register, which is the local restructuring that makes this T2 rather than T1. - Risks: (a) combinational depth grows — one stage now contains a multiply plus a 3-deep MAC chain instead of multiply | adder, so this stage becomes the critical path of
bilinearintrp; mitigated by the fact that the chainedbxadds are 17-bit-effective. (b) A synthesizer that does not constant-fold the tiedbx=0on stage S0 leaves one block doing a bare multiply — acceptable, it is still a genuine chain member. (c) Sign convention: the block is signed, the design unsigned; correctness relies on zero-extension of the 8-bit and 7-bit operands (max product 32 385 < 2^15), so no operand ever appears negative — must be verified if anyone later widensru…bwto 16 bits. (d) Register-count change (nine 15-bit regs → three 15-bit regs) will show up in area/QoR reports; it is a consequence of the fusion, not a functional change.
Work iteratively IN THIS SESSION: after each edit, run bash check.sh raygentop.v and read its output; if it does not synthesize, fix the RTL and check again. Do NOT run place-and-route or any VTR/vpr command — that is verified separately. Stop when check.sh reports it synthesizes cleanly with the intended arithmetic.
7 paragraph breaks restored by the export, where the recorder joined text blocks with no separator.
I'll start by reading the relevant region of the file.
Now let me see the module header and declarations.
Now let me make the edits. First the declarations:
Now the always block and the assigns:
No warnings. Now let me verify bit-exact equivalence against the original with a simulation:
Now the primitive model and testbench:
Bit-exact over 20 000 random vectors, including the 15-bit wraparound cases. Let me view the final region:
Done. check.sh reports clean synthesis and the fusion is in the netlist.
Only the bilinearintrp module's product/reduction region (raygentop.v ~2794–2898). Everything else — module ports, the selectuv mux, the operand pipeline registers, and every instantiation/consumer upstream and downstream — is untouched.
Before: nine * operators latched into nine 15-bit product registers (i1r…i3b), then three combinational reductions assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r) etc.
After: three comb_mult_add_16 chains (3 instances each, 9 total), one per colour channel, forming the barycentric sum-of-products in one cycle; the sum is latched into a single 15-bit accumulator per channel (ir, ig, ib), and assign r = ir[6:0].
Per chain: stage 1 bx=32'b0 (no free addend exists there), stages 2 and 3 take bx from the previous stage's result[31:0]. Every operand of every fused region is wired onto a real port; no input is left dangling; no terms were invented. Operands are unsigned and strictly narrower than the signed ports (ul 8→16, rul 7→16), so they are zero-extended, as the block's arithmetic contract requires.
bash check.sh raygentop.v→ OK: synthesizes cleanly, zero yosys warnings.- Cell census confirms the intended arithmetic moved into the block:
$mul18 → 9 (the remaining 9 arematmult, deliberately not fused),$add27 → 21 (the six reduction adds absorbed), and 9 ×comb_mult_add_16now present. - Equivalence check: I built the pre-edit module as a golden reference and co-simulated both against a behavioural model of the primitive under iverilog — 0 mismatches over 20 000 random vectors, covering the
wl = 255-u-v8-bit wrap and the 15-bit sum wraparound (the true sum reaches ~97 155, so the modulus is exercised constantly). Latency is unchanged: both forms keep two register stages fromu/rutor.
- Critical path grows. This pipeline stage now holds a 3-deep MAC chain where it previously held one multiply feeding a separate registered adder. This stage likely becomes the timing bottleneck of
bilinearintrp— expect it to show in post-P&R results. - Register count drops (nine 15-bit regs → three). That is a real consequence of moving the reduction ahead of the pipeline register, not a functional change, but it will move area numbers.
- Correctness depends on the operands staying unsigned-narrow. Zero-extension is only safe because
ul/vl/wlare 8-bit andru…bware 7-bit. If anyone later widens those toward 16 bits, the signed ports would misinterpret the top bit and this fusion would break.
Want me to hand this to the reviewer subagent for a second opinion before you run P&R?

Call 4 · reviewer:acceptance · anthropic/claude-opus-5 · ok
You are an INDEPENDENT ACCEPTANCE REVIEWER — the gate of record for whether an adapted design is
a LEGITIMATE member of its benchmark suite. You did NOT plan or write this edit. Judge only what
is in front of you. Your verdict is final and fully automated; there is no human backstop, so err
toward rejecting anything you cannot positively ground.
FRAMING — refute by default. Your job is to find why this adaptation is NOT a legitimate suite
member. Assume it is contrived until the evidence shows otherwise. A rewrite that merely "makes
the mode appear in the netlist" is NOT sufficient — the mode must do real work the original
workload actually implied.
This case has already passed the deterministic structural, provenance, and (for T3) evidence
gates — do not re-litigate those mechanically. Your judgement is the legitimacy call they
cannot make: would a real designer of THIS workload ship this, or is it a mode-island / fabricated
dot-product / gratuitous variant dressed up to pass?
REJECT if any of these hold:
- (a) FABRICATED TERMS — a fused N-term product/sum aggregates operands that did not genuinely
share a reduction in the original; the "dot product" is manufactured to fill the mode's arity. - (b) MODE ISLAND / DEAD WORK — the mode's result does not flow to the design's real outputs, or
is wired to constants / a sink that the rest of the design ignores. - (c) ROLE BREAK — the adapted region no longer plays the workload role the witness recorded
(e.g. a control-path multiply repurposed as a fake datapath MAC). - (d) UNGROUNDED VARIANT (T3) — the precision/algorithm variant is not the one the cited sibling
design evidences; the adaptation drifts to a workload character the suite does not contain.
ACCEPT if the adaptation is sound: the mapped arithmetic genuinely existed, the fused terms really
shared a reduction, the mode's output drives the original consumers, and the workload role is
preserved. Legitimate adaptation need not be optimal — only real.
You MUST ground your verdict: cite the specific preserved role (from the witness), the real
region(s)/reduction the mode maps onto, and — for T3 — the sibling evidence axis. A verdict you
cannot ground is a REJECT.

Your FIRST line must be exactly 'ACCEPT' or 'REJECT'. Then, on the following lines, state the
grounding (role preserved / real region mapped / sibling evidence) or the specific violation
(a/b/c/d) and what makes it illegitimate.

ACCEPT
Role preserved (witness → file). bilinearintrp still performs per-channel barycentric colour interpolation: the same selectuv u/v mux (2818–2858), the same wl <= 8'hFF - u - v complement weight, the same registered weight/attribute pipeline (ul/vl/wl, rul…bwl, 2860–2873). The multiply operation and int8-class operands (8-bit weights × 7-bit colour attributes) are unchanged — no control-path multiply was repurposed, so no (c) role break.
Real reduction mapped, no fabricated terms (refutes (a)). The witness records three independent per-channel reductions, r = i1r+i2r+i3r (2884), g = … (2885), b = … (2886). The edit builds exactly three 3-term chains, one per channel, and the operand pairs are term-for-term the original nine products:
mac1r/2r/3r=ul*rul,vl*rvl,wl*rwl(originallyi1r,i2r,i3r)- likewise g with
gul/gvl/gwl, b withbul/bvl/bwl.
No operand crosses a channel boundary; bx chaining is 0 → p1 → p2 → p3, i.e. the accumulator carries only that channel's own partial sum. The mode's arity (3 terms) is filled by terms that already shared the reduction — nothing manufactured.
Result reaches the real outputs (refutes (b)). p3r/p3g/p3b[14:0] are registered into ir/ig/ib and drive r/g/b (2895–2897), which at the top level are blr/blg/blb (2012) and fan out to linearmap (2011) and temp_shadedata{a,b,c} (2265–2267, 2423–2425, 2482–2484). Verified no dangling i1r…i3b references remain and ir/ig/ib have no name collisions. Not a mode island.
Semantics and timing preserved. The edit is a retiming, not a behaviour change: originally the products were registered and summed combinationally after the register; now the sum is combinational before the register. Both yield r at the same cycle relative to u/v/ru… (both consume the previously-latched ul/rul). Truncation matches — the original i1r+i2r+i3r was already truncated to r[6:0], and p3r[14:0][6:0] is the same low 7 bits mod 2^7. All operands are unsigned and zero-extended into the wider signed ax/ay ports with MSBs clear, so the signed hard-block multiply reproduces the original unsigned products.
T2, so no variant/sibling-evidence axis applies; manifest correctly reports no introduced datatypes (int8 in, int8-class out).
Caveat noted but not disqualifying: the serial bx chain lengthens the combinational path versus the original registered-product form. That is a QoR trade-off, and it is the natural expression of a 3-term dot product on a 2-input multiply-add block — exactly what a designer targeting this hard block would write. Legitimacy does not require optimality.

Baseline: the unmodified raygentop through the same flow under the current settings regime (channel width 300, device koios_extra_small, seed 1, grid 90 x 90 (koios_extra_small), routed at width 300); measured, 2026-09-12 18:36:16 -0700, from configs/baselines/complexDSP.yaml. A lower delta is better on every row.
Read from the VPR log of editor attempt 1, the last whose flow completed: the accepted variant (outcome.json ppa, ppa_iteration).
Coverage
| quantity | value | what it counts |
|---|---|---|
| candidate regions offered | 18 | detected regions handed to the planner (one RTL expression each) |
| candidate instances | 18 | those regions times the elaborated instance count of their module |
| regions selected | 9 | regions the approved plan names |
| selected instances | 9 | selected regions times their module's instance count |
| terms per block | 1 | product terms one block of the mode fuses |
| blocks packed | 9 | packed blocks in the target mode (editor attempt 1) |
Offered and packed are not the same unit: a candidate is a source region, a packed block is an elaborated instance, and one block can fuse several regions (or the editor can chain several blocks for one region), so they are recorded raw rather than as a ratio.
Block counts
| source | mode | blocks |
|---|---|---|
vtr/iter01/raygentop/raygentop.net | comb_mult_add_16_mode | 9 |
