par: the bar to beatpar: the bar to beat scored at N = 16

A proved reference of add, written or adapted by the maintainers and shipped with the task: its design and its proof add_n.lean (84 code lines). A ripple-carry adder in a generate loop, proved with the sv_comb tactics: the intended way to work. It is par, the bar to beatpar, the bar to beat, never a player's entry (proved references).

Area: sky130 A0′, the repaired netlist. Time: NLDM, inputs driven by buf_8, 10 fF per output bit, no wires.

Area, time and score are ranked (the leaderboard orders by the score); a number tagged extra, derived or research is shown, never ranked. Fmax-equivalent = 10⁶ / time in ps, for comparison with sites that quote Fmax.

The field is the ranked records of add's other players at this revision (1 player, 1 record), never the references, the baselines or a rejected design; each player counts once, at their best, and ties are exact at the recorded unit; advisory, recomputed at every build, never stored in a record and never used by the ranking.

On the board, another player is beaten when this design dominates every record of theirs, level when none of theirs is better and one is identical (the rest dominated), ahead when a record of theirs dominates this design, and a trade off otherwise (one of theirs better on one axis, worse on the other).

# Reference solution for task `add`, proved with the `sv_comb` tactics

This is a submission file like any player's `Solution.lean`. The checker generates the module
`Submission.Design` (`Submission.design`, `Submission.Goal`); this file proves

    theorem Submission.solution : Submission.Goal

for EVERY `N ≥ 1` (`N` stays a variable from the envelope to the conclusion; nothing is unrolled).
The design is `reference/add_n.sv`, a ripple-carry adder in one `generate for`. The same statement
is proved with no tactic in `reference/add_n_byhand.lean` (about four times as many code lines).

## Route

1. **Structure** (`add_struct`): `sv_structure` proves `CombDesign` and `Acyclic` of
   `design.sem N` in one theorem and returns only small arithmetic goals (declared ranges, one
   driver per bit, the rank decrease), each closed by `intros; omega`. The rank is the player's:
   carry-in 0, bit `i`'s two cells `i + 1`, carry-out `N + 1`.
2. **Ports** (`add_interface`): the task's statement also pins the port names, order and widths;
   `sv_interface` proves them from the `CombDesign` profile.
3. **Equations** (in `solution`): `CombTask.satisfiedAt_of_comb` reduces the statement to ONE
   settled-state lemma; `sv_equations` then derives, from the real semantics, the four equations of
   the netlist over `Bool`, the knownness of every driven bit (`known_*`) and the obligations it does
   not discharge (declared ranges, bit reads, coverage of every read, knownness of the inputs),
   closed by `omega`, `sv_cover` and `inKnown_ofBitVec`. The equations are used under their STABLE
   names, the target signal and the ordinal of the assign among those writing it: `eq_c_1`
   (`c[0] = cin`), `eq_c_2` (the carry cell), `eq_s_1`, `eq_cout_1`; the generated names
   (`eq_c_plain_0`, `eq_c_g_bit_1`, …, which depend on the block label and the position) are copies.
4. **Arithmetic** (`add_final`): the only mathematics. The equations are the library structure
   `CombLib.AddView`; `add_spec` (the ripple-row lemma, `bfVal`) turns it into the sum, and the
   port bridge `SvState.lookup_eq_ofBitVec_bv` turns the Boolean bits back into the ports' values.

It is the same design through the same pinned flow at a smaller size (ppa.py --param), so that what it does can be seen: 20 cells here, 80 at the scoring point. The critical path at N = 4 (8 cells, ending at s[3] rising, 970 ps there) is in the accent colour. Drawn by netlistsvg with svGolf's sky130 skin (derived from netlistsvg's default skin, as the drawing is: MIT licence, Copyright (c) 2016 Neil Turley, the notice): one symbol per cell function, the cell above it, the instance on hover; nor2b and nand2b are drawn with the bubble on their inverted input. The cells of the path are listed under Critical path, each a link to the cell here.

The netlist at N = 4: 20 cells, 12 nand2_1, 8 xor2_1. There (measured, not ranked): 115.11 µm², 970 ps. Open the drawing on its own (SVG, 14.9 KB) to pan and zoom it with the browser's own controls.

Critical path

at N = 16 · scored

The path the ranked delay ends on, at the scoring point N = 16: 33 nets, 32 cells, to s[15] rising at 2 611 ps. Each row is a net of the repaired netlist with the arrival and the transition the STA computed there (NLDM tables, the larger transition carried; no wires). The first row is an input: its arrival is the input driver's own delay (buf_8 fed by a 50 ps ramp). From ppa.py --path (critical_path_timing); the instance names are the scored netlist's, not the schematic's (drawn at a smaller size).

In the schematic, drawn at N = 4, the critical path is 8 cells to s[3] rising (970 ps there); each cell is a link to it in the drawing:

sky130 area (x) against the ranked time (y); lower left is better on both. The step line is the Pareto front of the entries (the proved references and the players' ranked records); a design under par's score curve has a better score than par. Baselines are drawn for scale: scored, never proved. Fitted to the cluster: 3 designs beyond the view, counted at its edge (◂ ▸ ▴ ▾); “All designs” shows them.
