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.

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.
Read the source. Output EXACTLY this header (uppercase keys), then the plan:

REGIONS: <comma-separated region id(s)> # one id for a direct swap; N ids for a fusion
SHARED_REDUCTION: <the signal/module the terms feed> # or NONE for a single region
MAPPING: <which operands map to which of the mode's ports>
PLAN: <how the module's live inputs/outputs and downstream consumers are preserved; any introduced
operations/datatypes (should be NONE for T1/T2); and the main risks>

I'll start by reading the source file to understand the design.
I read the two candidate clusters (matmult, lines 298–352, and bilinearintrp, lines 2762–2887) plus the bilinearintrp instantiation at line 2012. Plan below — no files edited.
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 3-term barycentric colour reductions in bilinearintrp: assign r = i1r+i2r+i3r (line 2884), assign g = i1g+i2g+i3g (2885), assign b = i1b+i2b+i3b (2886). Fusion happens ONLY within a channel (3 products per reduction); the r/g/b chains stay separate because they drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Per channel, a 3-deep chain of comb_mult_add_16 (9 blocks total). Red channel:
mac_r3: ax = {8'b0, wl} (8-bit unsignedwl, zero-extended), ay = {9'b0, rwl} (7-bit unsigned, zero-extended), bx = 32'd0 (no further term), result[31:0] →s_r2mac_r2: ax = {8'b0, vl}, ay = {9'b0, rvl}, bx =s_r2, result[31:0] →s_r1mac_r1: ax = {8'b0, ul}, ay = {9'b0, rul}, bx =s_r1, result[31:0] →sum_r(the full reduction ul*rul + vl*rvl + wl*rwl)
Green: identical withgul/gvl/gwl; Blue: identical withbul/bvl/bwl. Every ax/ay/bx port is driven (bx tied to 32'd0 only on the chain head);resultdrives the real consumer.
PLAN:- Structure: delete the nine 15-bit product registers
i1r..i3b(lines 2799–2807, 2874–2882) and replace them with three registersreg[16:0] sum_r, sum_g, sum_bclocked in the samealways @(posedge clk)block (line 2860), loaded from the chain heads:sum_r <= mac_r1_result[16:0];etc. The combinationalassign r/g/b(2884–2886) becomeassign r = sum_r[6:0];(same for g, b). - Live interface preserved: module ports of
bilinearintrpand its single instantiationbilinearimpat line 2012 are untouched;blr/blg/blbconsumers see identical values. Latency is unchanged:ul/vl/wland the coefficient registers still latch at the same edge, the products/sum still land in a register at the same edge, andr/g/bare still a combinational read of that register — 0 cycles added or removed. - Bit-exactness:
ul,vl,wlare 8-bit unsigned,rul..bwl7-bit unsigned, so each operand is strictly narrower than the 16-bit ports and zero-extends exactly into the block's signed domain (max 255 and 127, both well under 2^15). Each product ≤ 32385 fits the existing 15-bit reg with no truncation today, so the chain's full-precision sum (≤ 97155, 17 bits) has the same low bits as today's 15-bit wrapping adder;r/g/btake only bits [6:0], so the result is bit-identical. - New operations/datatypes: NONE. Same signed-free unsigned integer arithmetic, same multiply+add family, no rounding/shift/precision change.
- Why not
matmult(lines 335–350): (a) its operandsAx/m11/...are 16-bit unsigned and exactly as wide as the ports, so they have no exact representation on this signed block; (b) its reduction adds truncated slicesam11[30:16]+am12[30:16]+am13[30:16], i.e. each product is right-shifted by 15 before the sum, whereas the block sums at full precision — fusing would change the computed function (dropped-bit carries). It is therefore not a valid T1/T2 target. - Risks: (1) Timing — three cascaded 16×16 MACs now sit in one combinational path per channel where previously only a 3-input 15-bit adder did; if Fmax regresses, the chain can be split as 2 blocks + the existing adder, or the association order changed, without altering the result. (2) Register-count/area shift (nine 15-bit regs → three 17-bit regs) changes post-synthesis resource reports. (3) Tie-off discipline: the head block's
bxmust be explicitly32'd0and all three inputs named (ax,ay,bx) so no port is left floating. (4) Width bookkeeping when slicingresult[63:0]down to the 32-bitbxof the next stage — safe here since all partial sums are non-negative and < 2^17.

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$348 (op 'multiply', datatype int8, consumers ['bilinearintrp']).
APPROVE the plan if it is correct and representative — a legitimate adaptation does not need to
be perfect, only sound. Do NOT demand rewrites for style, minor wording, or hypothetical concerns.
REVISE ONLY for a CONCRETE, specific violation you can name: (a) it changes the computed function
when the tier forbids it; (b) it introduces an operation/datatype absent from the design and not
admitted by the tier; (c) it fabricates terms to match a mode's n_terms (products that did not
exist / do not share a reduction); (d) it wires the mode to constants or a dead sink (mode island).
If none of these apply, APPROVE.
Your FIRST line must be exactly 'APPROVE' or 'REVISE', nothing else. If REVISE, the next lines
must name the specific violation (a/b/c/d) and what to change.
--- PLAN ---
I'll start by reading the source file to understand the design.
I read the two candidate clusters (matmult, lines 298–352, and bilinearintrp, lines 2762–2887) plus the bilinearintrp instantiation at line 2012. Plan below — no files edited.
TIER: T2
REGIONS: bilinearintrp.$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 3-term barycentric colour reductions in bilinearintrp: assign r = i1r+i2r+i3r (line 2884), assign g = i1g+i2g+i3g (2885), assign b = i1b+i2b+i3b (2886). Fusion happens ONLY within a channel (3 products per reduction); the r/g/b chains stay separate because they drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Per channel, a 3-deep chain of comb_mult_add_16 (9 blocks total). Red channel:
mac_r3: ax = {8'b0, wl} (8-bit unsignedwl, zero-extended), ay = {9'b0, rwl} (7-bit unsigned, zero-extended), bx = 32'd0 (no further term), result[31:0] →s_r2mac_r2: ax = {8'b0, vl}, ay = {9'b0, rvl}, bx =s_r2, result[31:0] →s_r1mac_r1: ax = {8'b0, ul}, ay = {9'b0, rul}, bx =s_r1, result[31:0] →sum_r(the full reduction ul*rul + vl*rvl + wl*rwl)
Green: identical withgul/gvl/gwl; Blue: identical withbul/bvl/bwl. Every ax/ay/bx port is driven (bx tied to 32'd0 only on the chain head);resultdrives the real consumer.
PLAN:- Structure: delete the nine 15-bit product registers
i1r..i3b(lines 2799–2807, 2874–2882) and replace them with three registersreg[16:0] sum_r, sum_g, sum_bclocked in the samealways @(posedge clk)block (line 2860), loaded from the chain heads:sum_r <= mac_r1_result[16:0];etc. The combinationalassign r/g/b(2884–2886) becomeassign r = sum_r[6:0];(same for g, b). - Live interface preserved: module ports of
bilinearintrpand its single instantiationbilinearimpat line 2012 are untouched;blr/blg/blbconsumers see identical values. Latency is unchanged:ul/vl/wland the coefficient registers still latch at the same edge, the products/sum still land in a register at the same edge, andr/g/bare still a combinational read of that register — 0 cycles added or removed. - Bit-exactness:
ul,vl,wlare 8-bit unsigned,rul..bwl7-bit unsigned, so each operand is strictly narrower than the 16-bit ports and zero-extends exactly into the block's signed domain (max 255 and 127, both well under 2^15). Each product ≤ 32385 fits the existing 15-bit reg with no truncation today, so the chain's full-precision sum (≤ 97155, 17 bits) has the same low bits as today's 15-bit wrapping adder;r/g/btake only bits [6:0], so the result is bit-identical. - New operations/datatypes: NONE. Same signed-free unsigned integer arithmetic, same multiply+add family, no rounding/shift/precision change.
- Why not
matmult(lines 335–350): (a) its operandsAx/m11/...are 16-bit unsigned and exactly as wide as the ports, so they have no exact representation on this signed block; (b) its reduction adds truncated slicesam11[30:16]+am12[30:16]+am13[30:16], i.e. each product is right-shifted by 15 before the sum, whereas the block sums at full precision — fusing would change the computed function (dropped-bit carries). It is therefore not a valid T1/T2 target. - Risks: (1) Timing — three cascaded 16×16 MACs now sit in one combinational path per channel where previously only a 3-input 15-bit adder did; if Fmax regresses, the chain can be split as 2 blocks + the existing adder, or the association order changed, without altering the result. (2) Register-count/area shift (nine 15-bit regs → three 17-bit regs) changes post-synthesis resource reports. (3) Tie-off discipline: the head block's
bxmust be explicitly32'd0and all three inputs named (ax,ay,bx) so no port is left floating. (4) Width bookkeeping when slicingresult[63:0]down to the 32-bitbxof the next stage — safe here since all partial sums are non-negative and < 2^17.

APPROVE
Verified against raygentop.v; every load-bearing claim in the plan holds:
- (c) No fabricated terms. Lines 2874–2882 contain exactly the nine multiplies cited, and lines 2884–2886 are three genuine 3-term reductions (
i1r+i2r+i3r, etc.). The plan fuses only within a channel and correctly refuses to merge r/g/b, which drive separate outputs. 3 terms per chain, 9 blocks — matches what the RTL actually has. - (d) No mode island.
r/g/b→blr/blg/blb(line 2012) →temp_shadedata{a,b,c}at lines 2265–2267, 2423–2425, 2482–2484, andblb/blgalso feedlinearmapinst. Live sinks. The singlebx = 32'd0tie-off is a chain-head initializer, with both multiplier operands and the result live — not a constant-fed block. - (a) Function preserved. The bit-exactness argument is right for a subtle reason the plan states correctly:
assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r)is evaluated in 15-bit context and wraps mod 2^15, but only[6:0]is consumed, so a full-precision 17-bit sum has identical low bits. Latency is also unchanged — the original registers products and combinationally sums; the replacement combinationally MACs and registers the sum. Same number of stages fromul/rultor. - (b) No new op/datatype family. Multiply and add both already exist here.
ul/vl/wl≤ 255 andrul..bwl≤ 127 are non-negative and zero-extend into the 16-bit signed ports without ambiguity, so signed MAC semantics agree with the current unsigned arithmetic.
The matmult rejection is also technically sound and worth noting as a point in the plan's favor: am11[30:15] + am12[30:15] + am13[30:15] right-shifts each product before summing, so fusing it into a full-precision MAC would change the result via dropped-bit carries. Correctly ruled out rather than force-fit.
Remaining items (timing on the 3-deep cascade, area report shift) are flagged as risks, not correctness defects, and none of the four REVISE criteria apply.

Pick the most REPRESENTATIVE mapping — arithmetic a real designer of THIS workload would actually

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

i1r+i2r+i3r, etc.). The plan fuses only within a channel and correctly refuses to merge r/g/b, which drive separate outputs. 3 terms per chain, 9 blocks — matches what the RTL actually has. - (d) No mode island.
r/g/b→blr/blg/blb(line 2012) →temp_shadedata{a,b,c}at lines 2265–2267, 2423–2425, 2482–2484, andblb/blgalso feedlinearmapinst. Live sinks. The singlebx = 32'd0tie-off is a chain-head initializer, with both multiplier operands and the result live — not a constant-fed block. - (a) Function preserved. The bit-exactness argument is right for a subtle reason the plan states correctly:
assign r = (i1r+i2r+i3r)is evaluated in 15-bit context and wraps mod 2^15, but only[6:0]is consumed, so a full-precision 17-bit sum has identical low bits. Latency is also unchanged — the original registers products and combinationally sums; the replacement combinationally MACs and registers the sum. Same number of stages fromul/rultor. - (b) No new op/datatype family. Multiply and add both already exist here.
ul/vl/wl≤ 255 andrul..bwl≤ 127 are non-negative and zero-extend into the 16-bit signed ports without ambiguity, so signed MAC semantics agree with the current unsigned arithmetic.
The matmult rejection is also technically sound and worth noting as a point in the plan's favor: am11[30:15] + am12[30:15] + am13[30:15] right-shifts each product before summing, so fusing it into a full-precision MAC would change the result via dropped-bit carries. Correctly ruled out rather than force-fit.
Remaining items (timing on the 3-deep cascade, area report shift) are flagged as risks, not correctness defects, and none of the four REVISE criteria apply.

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 barycentric dot products inside module bilinearintrp (raygentop.v:2884-2886): r = i1r+i2r+i3r, g = i1g+i2g+i3g, b = i1b+i2b+i3b. Each is a genuine 3-term sum-of-products over the shared weight vector {ul, vl, wl}. Fusion is done within a channel only (3 MACs cascaded per channel, 9 hard blocks total); the r/g/b chains are NOT merged with each other because they drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Per channel, a 3-deep cascade of comb_mult_add_16, chaining the accumulator through bx:
- red:
#0 (.ax(ul), .ay(rul), .bx(32'd0), .result(pr0))→#1 (.ax(vl), .ay(rvl), .bx(pr0[31:0]), .result(pr1))→#2 (.ax(wl), .ay(rwl), .bx(pr1[31:0]), .result(pr2)) - green: same with
gul/gvl/gwl→pg0..pg2 - blue: same with
bul/bvl/bwl→pb0..pb2
Operand widening: ul/vl/wl are [7:0] and rul..bwl are [6:0], both unsigned and non-negative, so they zero-extend into the 16-bit signed ax/ay ports ({8'b0, ul}, {9'b0, rul}). Zero-extension of an unsigned value narrower than the port is exact and makes the signed MAC agree bit-for-bit with the current unsigned arithmetic. The single bx = 32'd0 is the chain-head initializer only; every other bx carries a live partial sum.
PLAN:
Structure. Inside bilinearintrp only. The always @(posedge clk) block at 2860-2882 keeps all its register updates for wl, ul, vl, rul..bwl (these are the pipeline stage that feeds the multipliers and must not move). Delete the nine product assignments i1r <= ul*rul; ... i3b <= wl*bwl; and the nine reg[14:0] i1r..i3b declarations. Add three registers reg[14:0] sumr, sumg, sumb; clocked in the same always block from the cascade outputs: sumr <= pr2[14:0]; etc. Replace lines 2884-2886 with assign r = sumr[6:0]; (and g, b likewise).
Latency and function preserved. Original: products registered, sum combinational → one register stage between ul/rul and the r output. Replacement: MAC cascade combinational, sum registered → still exactly one register stage. No change to cycle count or to the module's port list.
Bit-exactness: i1r+i2r+i3r is evaluated in 15-bit context and wraps mod 2^15, whereas the cascade computes the sum at full precision. This is safe because r is wire[6:0] and consumes only bits [6:0]; truncation of a full-precision sum to 7 bits equals truncation of the mod-2^15 sum to 7 bits. (In practice the sum cannot even reach 2^15: max is 3·255·127 = 97155 — which does exceed 2^15, so the wrap is real and the low-bits argument is the load-bearing one.) Widening sumr to [6:0] directly would be equally valid; keeping [14:0] minimizes the diff.
Downstream consumers untouched. r/g/b leave bilinearintrp as blr/blg/blb at the instantiation (line 2012) and reach temp_shadedata{a,b,c} at 2265-2267, 2423-2425 and 2482-2484; blb/blg additionally feed linearmapinst. All sinks stay live and unmodified, so this is not a mode island.
New operations/datatypes. NONE. Multiply and add both already exist in this region; no datatype change (unsigned operands zero-extended into signed ports, result truncated exactly as before).
Why not matmult. The nine matmult multiplies (lines 335-343) look superficially like the same 3-term dot product, but line 348-350 reduce am11[30:15] + am12[30:15] + am13[30:15] — each product is right-shifted by 15 before summing. Folding that into a full-precision MAC would change the result, because carries out of the dropped low 15 bits would propagate into the retained bits. Ruled out rather than force-fit.
Risks.
- Timing. Three cascaded combinational MACs in one clock period replaces one multiply per period. This is the main risk; the 3-deep
bxcarry chain may become the critical path ofbilinearintrp. Mitigation if it fails timing: fuse only 2 of the 3 terms per channel (one hard block + one residual multiply/add), which is still a representative MAC mapping. - Area accounting. Nine 15-bit unsigned multipliers become nine 16×16+32 hard blocks; the area report will shift and should not be read as a regression.
- Extension discipline. If the zero-extension is written as sign-extension by mistake,
ul=8'hFF(a legal value, sincewl = 255 - u - v) would be read as −1. The extension must be explicit{8'b0, ul}/{9'b0, rul}, not a bare signed connection.

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.

SHARED_REDUCTION: Three independent barycentric dot products inside module bilinearintrp (raygentop.v:2884-2886): r = i1r+i2r+i3r, g = i1g+i2g+i3g, b = i1b+i2b+i3b. Each is a genuine 3-term sum-of-products over the shared weight vector {ul, vl, wl}. Fusion is done within a channel only (3 MACs cascaded per channel, 9 hard blocks total); the r/g/b chains are NOT merged with each other because they drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Per channel, a 3-deep cascade of comb_mult_add_16, chaining the accumulator through bx:
- red:

gul/gvl/gwl→pg0..pg2 - blue: same with
bul/bvl/bwl→pb0..pb2
Operand widening: ul/vl/wl are [7:0] and rul..bwl are [6:0], both unsigned and non-negative, so they zero-extend into the 16-bit signed ax/ay ports ({8'b0, ul}, {9'b0, rul}). Zero-extension of an unsigned value narrower than the port is exact and makes the signed MAC agree bit-for-bit with the current unsigned arithmetic. The single bx = 32'd0 is the chain-head initializer only; every other bx carries a live partial sum.

Latency and function preserved. Original: products registered, sum combinational → one register stage between ul/rul and the r output. Replacement: MAC cascade combinational, sum registered → still exactly one register stage. No change to cycle count or to the module's port list.
Bit-exactness: i1r+i2r+i3r is evaluated in 15-bit context and wraps mod 2^15, whereas the cascade computes the sum at full precision.

Folding that into a full-precision MAC would change the result, because carries out of the dropped low 15 bits would propagate into the retained bits. Ruled out rather than force-fit.

| Consumers live | blr/blg/blb at inst 2012 → temp_shadedataa[20:0] at 2265–2267 (and 2423/2482); blb/blg → linearmapinst | ✅ no mode island |
On the four revision triggers:
- (a) function change — No.
riswire[6:0]; the original sum is evaluated in 15-bit context and truncated to 7. Since each product is individually exact (255*127 = 32385 < 2^15),pr2[14:0]equalsi1r+i2r+i3rbit-for-bit, and truncation to [6:0] agrees because 2^15 is a multiple of 2^7. The plan's own "the wrap is real, the low-bits argument is load-bearing" caveat is honest and correct — it even understates its case. - (b) new op/datatype — No. Multiply and add both pre-exist in this always block. Operands are unsigned non-negative (
ul ≤ 255,rul ≤ 127), so explicit zero-extension into signed 16-bit ports is exact; the plan flags the sign-extension footgun as an explicit risk. - (c) fabricated terms — No. All 9 multiplies exist in the RTL and genuinely share three 3-term reductions. Critically, the plan does not merge r/g/b into one 9-term chain (which would have been fabrication, since they drive separate outputs) — it correctly keeps three independent 3-deep cascades.
- (d) constants / dead sink — No. Only
bxon each chain head is32'd0, the standard accumulator-chain initializer;ax/ayare live registers and everyresultfeeds either the nextbxor a live output.
Two observations, neither blocking:
- "Widening
sumrto[6:0]" is a typo for narrowing — wording only. - The 3-MAC-per-channel mapping spends one hard block on
x*y + 0. A 1-mult + 2-MAC arrangement would use the adders more fully, but a zero-initialized chain head is conventional and does not constitute wiring-to-constants. Not worth a rewrite.
The plan is sound, grounded in the actual source, and honest about its risks (timing on the 3-deep bx chain, area accounting, extension discipline).

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$356 — which already feed the common reduction 'Three independent barycentric dot products inside module bilinearintrp (raygentop.v:2884-2886): r = i1r+i2r+i3r, g = i1g+i2g+i3g, b = i1b+i2b+i3b. Each is a genuine 3-term sum-of-products over the shared weight vector {ul, vl, wl}. Fusion is done within a channel only (3 MACs cascaded per channel, 9 hard blocks total); the r/g/b chains are NOT merged with each other because they drive separate module outputs.', into one 1-term 'comb_mult_add_16_mode' instance. Fuse only these existing terms; do not invent new ones.
Rules: edit Verilog source only; preserve the module's live inputs/outputs and its downstream
consumers; do not introduce operations or datatypes absent from the design unless this tier
admits a variant; keep the surrounding design unchanged for T1/T2. Do not fabricate terms merely
to match a mode's n_terms — that is not representative.
Follow this approved plan:
TIER: T2
REGIONS: bilinearintrp.$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 barycentric dot products inside module bilinearintrp (raygentop.v:2884-2886): r = i1r+i2r+i3r, g = i1g+i2g+i3g, b = i1b+i2b+i3b. Each is a genuine 3-term sum-of-products over the shared weight vector {ul, vl, wl}. Fusion is done within a channel only (3 MACs cascaded per channel, 9 hard blocks total); the r/g/b chains are NOT merged with each other because they drive separate module outputs.
MAPPING: Per channel, a 3-deep cascade of comb_mult_add_16, chaining the accumulator through bx:
- red:
#0 (.ax(ul), .ay(rul), .bx(32'd0), .result(pr0))→#1 (.ax(vl), .ay(rvl), .bx(pr0[31:0]), .result(pr1))→#2 (.ax(wl), .ay(rwl), .bx(pr1[31:0]), .result(pr2)) - green: same with
gul/gvl/gwl→pg0..pg2 - blue: same with
bul/bvl/bwl→pb0..pb2
Operand widening: ul/vl/wl are [7:0] and rul..bwl are [6:0], both unsigned and non-negative, so they zero-extend into the 16-bit signed ax/ay ports ({8'b0, ul}, {9'b0, rul}). Zero-extension of an unsigned value narrower than the port is exact and makes the signed MAC agree bit-for-bit with the current unsigned arithmetic. The single bx = 32'd0 is the chain-head initializer only; every other bx carries a live partial sum.
PLAN:
Structure. Inside bilinearintrp only. The always @(posedge clk) block at 2860-2882 keeps all its register updates for wl, ul, vl, rul..bwl (these are the pipeline stage that feeds the multipliers and must not move). Delete the nine product assignments i1r <= ul*rul; ... i3b <= wl*bwl; and the nine reg[14:0] i1r..i3b declarations. Add three registers reg[14:0] sumr, sumg, sumb; clocked in the same always block from the cascade outputs: sumr <= pr2[14:0]; etc. Replace lines 2884-2886 with assign r = sumr[6:0]; (and g, b likewise).
Latency and function preserved. Original: products registered, sum combinational → one register stage between ul/rul and the r output. Replacement: MAC cascade combinational, sum registered → still exactly one register stage. No change to cycle count or to the module's port list.
Bit-exactness: i1r+i2r+i3r is evaluated in 15-bit context and wraps mod 2^15, whereas the cascade computes the sum at full precision. This is safe because r is wire[6:0] and consumes only bits [6:0]; truncation of a full-precision sum to 7 bits equals truncation of the mod-2^15 sum to 7 bits. (In practice the sum cannot even reach 2^15: max is 3·255·127 = 97155 — which does exceed 2^15, so the wrap is real and the low-bits argument is the load-bearing one.) Widening sumr to [6:0] directly would be equally valid; keeping [14:0] minimizes the diff.
Downstream consumers untouched. r/g/b leave bilinearintrp as blr/blg/blb at the instantiation (line 2012) and reach temp_shadedata{a,b,c} at 2265-2267, 2423-2425 and 2482-2484; blb/blg additionally feed linearmapinst. All sinks stay live and unmodified, so this is not a mode island.
New operations/datatypes. NONE. Multiply and add both already exist in this region; no datatype change (unsigned operands zero-extended into signed ports, result truncated exactly as before).
Why not matmult. The nine matmult multiplies (lines 335-343) look superficially like the same 3-term dot product, but line 348-350 reduce am11[30:15] + am12[30:15] + am13[30:15] — each product is right-shifted by 15 before summing. Folding that into a full-precision MAC would change the result, because carries out of the dropped low 15 bits would propagate into the retained bits. Ruled out rather than force-fit.
Risks.
- Timing. Three cascaded combinational MACs in one clock period replaces one multiply per period. This is the main risk; the 3-deep
bxcarry chain may become the critical path ofbilinearintrp. Mitigation if it fails timing: fuse only 2 of the 3 terms per channel (one hard block + one residual multiply/add), which is still a representative MAC mapping. - Area accounting. Nine 15-bit unsigned multipliers become nine 16×16+32 hard blocks; the area report will shift and should not be read as a regression.
- Extension discipline. If the zero-extension is written as sign-extension by mistake,
ul=8'hFF(a legal value, sincewl = 255 - u - v) would be read as −1. The extension must be explicit{8'b0, ul}/{9'b0, rul}, not a bare signed connection.
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.
5 paragraph breaks restored by the export, where the recorder joined text blocks with no separator.
I'll start by exploring the directory and the relevant region of the file.
Baseline captured (18 $mul, 27 $add). Now the edit — declarations first:
Now the always block and the output assignments:
Cell counts are as intended. Let me verify bit-exactness by simulating old vs new with a behavioral model of the hard block:
Now clean up the scratch testbench and do the final check:
Done. The edit is confined to module bilinearintrp.
What changed
- Declarations — the nine
reg[14:0] i1r..i3bproduct registers were replaced by three accumulator registerssumr/sumg/sumbplus nine 64-bit wires for the MAC cascade outputs. - Always block — the nine
i1r <= ul*rul;style product assignments were replaced bysumr <= pr2[14:0]; sumg <= pg2[14:0]; sumb <= pb2[14:0];. All thewl/ul/vl/rul..bwlpipeline registers are untouched. - Nine
comb_mult_add_16instances — a 3-deep cascade per colour channel, accumulator chained throughbx. Every port is driven:ax/aycarry the operands,bxis the live partial sum (32'b0only at each chain head),resultfeeds the next stage and finally the sum register. - Outputs —
assign r = sumr[6:0];(and g, b). Port list and all downstream consumers (blr/blg/blb→temp_shadedata*,linearmapinst) are unchanged.
Operand widening — ul/vl/wl ([7:0]) and the weights ([6:0]) are unsigned and zero-extended explicitly as {8'b0, ul} / {9'b0, rul} into the signed 16-bit ports, so the signed hard block reproduces the original unsigned arithmetic bit-for-bit.
Latency preserved — original had one register stage (registered products, combinational sum); the replacement has one register stage (combinational cascade, registered sum). Same cycle count.
Verification
bash check.sh raygentop.v→ OK: synthesizes cleanly.- Cell census:
$mul18 → 9 (the 9 remaining arematmult, deliberately not fused because it pre-shifts each product by 15 before summing),$add27 → 21 (the six adder-tree adds absorbed), and 9comb_mult_add_16cells present in the netlist afteropt— i.e. they survive optimisation and drive real loads. - Equivalence: I built a throwaway testbench (golden original region vs. the new cascade, behavioural model of the hard block) and ran 200 000 random vectors with
wl = 255-u-vas in the design — 0 mismatches. The truncation argument holds: the 15-bit sum genuinely wraps (max 3·255·127 = 97155 > 2^15), butrconsumes only bits [6:0], and the low 7 bits of the wrapped and full-precision sums are identical. The scratch testbench was removed; onlyraygentop.vandcheck.shremain.
The one residual risk is the timing note from the plan: three cascaded combinational MACs now sit in one clock period. That only shows up in place-and-route, which you said is verified separately. If it fails, the fallback is fusing 2 of the 3 terms per channel.
Would you like me to hand this to the reviewer subagent for a second look?

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.

Role preserved (witness). The witness records role bilinearintrp / multiply / int8. The rewritten region is still module bilinearintrp computing barycentric colour interpolation: the selectuv u/v mux, the wl <= 8'hFF - u - v complement, and the ul/vl/wl × {ru,rv,rw | gu,gv,gw | bu,bv,bw} weighting are all unchanged. Nothing was repurposed into a different datapath function — no (c) role break.
Real region / real reduction mapped. The nine comb_mult_add_16 instances correspond one-for-one to the nine witnessed $mul cells at raygentop.v:2874–2882 (ul*rul … wl*bwl). The fusion boundaries match the reductions that already existed at lines 2884–2886 (r = i1r+i2r+i3r, etc.): three 3-deep MAC cascades, seeded with bx(32'b0) and chained pr0→pr1→pr2 per channel. Crucially the r/g/b chains are not merged with one another, respecting the witness note that they drive separate module outputs. Operands in each fused chain genuinely shared a sum in the original — no (a) fabricated terms, and no arity padding (the zero seed is a standard accumulator init, not filler).
Output path intact. pr2/pg2/pb2 → sumr/sumg/sumb → assign r/g/b, and at the parent level blr/blg/blb (line 2012) feed linearmap (2011) and the temp_shadedata{a,b,c} packing at lines 2265-67, 2423-25, 2482-84. The mode results reach the design's real consumers — no (b) mode island.
Semantics/timing checked. {8'b0, ul} and {9'b0, rul} are correct zero-extensions of the unsigned 8-bit and 7-bit operands into the signed 16-bit ports; max chain value ≈ 97k is safe in the 32-bit bx path. Truncation pr2[14:0] then [6:0] reproduces the original's 15-bit register width followed by the implicit 7-bit truncation at assign r — low bits are identical. Pipeline depth is also unchanged: originally u→ul (1 cyc) → i1r (2 cyc) → combinational sum; now u→ul (1 cyc) → combinational MAC cascade → sumr (2 cyc). Same 2-cycle latency, same result.
Tier. T2, no precision/algorithm variant introduced, so axis (d) does not apply; no sibling evidence is required.
This is what a real designer of this workload would ship: three genuine barycentric dot products folded onto the DSP's native multiply-add chaining.

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.
