ODIN-Based CPU-GPU Architecture with Replay-Driven Simulation and Emulation

AI systems can now write and optimize production GPU kernels, but validating them remains an important challenge. Evaluating the kernel on a few random inputs and checking that its outputs match a trusted reference kernel within numeric tolerances is not sufficient: races can cause nondeterministic behavior that fails to manifest in tests, and numeric tolerances can hide bugs and cause false positives even after extensive calibration. To address this challenge, we present RESOLVE, which combines testing and formal verification to build a comprehensive kernel validation pipeline. It operates in three steps: First, it tests for nondeterminism using binary instrumentation that perturbs execution timing to expose races. Second, an agent rewrites the candidate and reference kernels to obtain "reduced-concurrency" versions that are simpler to analyze but still produce bitwise-identical outputs in all tests. Third, the reduced kernels are formally analyzed in the F*/Pulse framework and prove that they perform the same computation on real numbers. This sidesteps the need for numeric tolerances. We show that RESOLVE can validate a broad selection of kernels using KernelBench, and prove equivalence across fused GEMMs in three state-of-the-art frameworks and languages: CUTLASS, Triton, and Gluon. It also analyzes mega-kernels, notoriously difficult to validate, and finds four previously unreported issues, including two clear bugs. We show that agents can use RESOLVE to repair the issues, with minimal performance impact, highlighting that agents can optimize aggressively when they can rigorously check their results.

Data-driven embodied AI is rapidly transitioning into a paradigm that scales training through massively parallel simulation, where GPU-accelerated simulators serve as the foundational data infrastructure. However, as computational throughput scales, the underlying trade-offs between parallel efficiency, physical fidelity, and execution determinism remain largely unexamined, hindering the development of reliable robot learning. In this paper, we expose the hidden limits of mainstream GPU-based robotic simulators (e.g., Isaac Lab, Genesis) by introducing GPUSimBench, which focuses on scalability, physical consistency, and computational determinism. First, GPUSimBench establishes a physical grounding evaluation with a controlled inclined-plane task, quantifying the distributional alignment between simulated dynamics and their real-world counterparts. Second, we benchmark parallel scalability by measuring throughput and memory footprints across scaling environment counts. Crucially, beyond standard performance metrics, we unveil and quantify the inherent non-determinism introduced by GPU-batched execution, characterized by significant run-to-run and inter-environment variability even under identical initial conditions. Finally, we identify four empirical regimes of stochasticity within current simulator stacks, highlighting that unbounded scaling can compromise reproducibility without explicit constraints.

The rapid growth of chiplet-based artificial intelligence systems-on-chip (SoCs) has exposed a fundamental gap in semiconductor test methodology. Existing Known Good Die (KGD) screening guarantees pre-assembly functional correctness, yet it offers no probabilistic assurance of post-assembly reliability lifetime. To address this limitation, the present work formalizes the transition from KGD to Known Good Reliable Die (KGRD) screening as a constrained inference problem over incomplete pre-assembly observability. Building upon this formulation, four interlocking contributions are presented: (i) a Bayesian probabilistic risk model that maps pre-assembly telemetry to post-assembly failure likelihood with a quantified observability bias bound; (ii) a safety-gated decision architecture that provides a provable post-assembly failure probability guarantee; (iii) uncertainty-aware disposition boundaries derived from Bayes-optimal decision theory; and (iv) a constrained closed-loop feedback mechanism that delivers consistent model improvement without violating reliability constraints. A Monte Carlo simulation study on N = 4,000 synthetic dies verifies all four theoretical properties and confirms that the safety guarantee holds uniformly across the full range of tested gate threshold.
