DEPLOY ON TANG NANO 9K: - Load waveprobe_famm_output.json into BRAM - Implement delay counter in FPGA fabric - Route to existing UART loopback for testing 2. MEASURE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE: - Real hardware latency vs. simulation - Confirm 2x speedup for low-frequency modes - Measure power consumption (lower delays = lower power) 3. OPTIMIZE FOR WORKLOAD: - If spatial locality: preshaped better (eigenvector-aligned) - If uniform random: uniform may be better - Adaptive: Switch based on access pattern 4. INTEGRATE WITH SWARM: - Distribute preshaped FAMM across swarm nodes - Consensus on optimal delay configuration - Hot-swap between uniform/preshaped based on load RECOMMENDATIONS # Generate output file echo "" echo "[7] Saving benchmark report..."

FAMM with eigenvalue-derived delays is synthesizable 2. Delay calculations produce valid Q16.16 values 3. Both uniform and preshaped configurations simulate correctly **Next Step:** Load onto Tang Nano 9K FPGA for real-world performance measurement. ## Files Generated - \`famm_verilator_bench.v\` - Verilog FAMM benchmark module - \`tb_famm_bench.cpp\` - C++ testbench - \`obj_dir/\` - Verilator build artifacts - \`simulation.log\` - Full simulation output --- *Generated by run_famm_verilator_bench.sh* EOF echo " ✓ Report saved: $REPORT_FILE" echo "" echo "==============================================" echo "FAMM Verilator Benchmark Complete" echo "==============================================" echo "" echo "Next steps:" echo " 1.
